I guess you could be plus/minus a week or two in fuel. But they describe pouring the powder into the cell. If a little powder is left in the bag you introduce a big error. It seems remarkable that he could deliver just the right amount, such that it almost all depletes. By the way, how much depletes? How much left is there? How much is left in terms of mass and also time before the reaction stops? The table on the last page of the report shows this but it is unclear to me. I guess it is "using up" Li-7, Ni-59, Ni-60 and they are almost gone. Is that correct? It looks like there is a lot of Li-7 left so maybe he did not calibrate it quite as close to the limit as I thought. I guess it would depend on how much energy each contributes. - Jed
