In reply to Stephen A. Lawrence's message of Wed, 06 Apr 2011 22:25:21 -0400: Hi, [snip] >OTOH I suppose we can assume that lots of copper migrated, a little
The problem with this is that the actual container holding the Ni is made of steel, not copper. The Copper is a second outer container forming the outside of a water jacket if I understand correctly. Hence there are only three possible sources of Cu: 1) The welds in the steel container. 2) Transmutation. 3) Fraud. (or misdirection if you prefer). I doubt there would be enough Cu in the welds to account for the Cu found in the Ni, and if a large amount of it migrated, then I would expect the container to fail (perhaps that's one of the problems he's been having?)
