Bob,
Just so you know, your insight is not being ignored - although you may
reasonably suspect it is, since there are few comments.
Lots of people are trying to come to grips with this data, as preposterous
as it may seem at first glance. But the main problem remains: these are very
energetic reactions with extreme Coulomb barriers. Obviously, if Ni-62 is
the key to the Rossi effect - which is what his patent would suggest, and it
fused with Li7, then there is a putative case for gallium-69. Beyond that,
there is no support for anything close to this in the literature.

Given the results of the SIMS analysis from the Lugano report, particularly
as detailed in this posting:
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg98596.html
I believe that it is possible to evaluate the nuclear activity of candidate
fuel samples simply by sputter-cleaning them as part of a ToF-SIMS analysis.
If researchers with access to such analytic equipment were willing to run
the experiment, I believe that a successful replication of Rossi's reaction
can be observed occurring with before-and-after spectra of the fuel.
So, skip the reactors, start evaluating powders in the SEM itself!
I sure hope this helps,
