Yes, Harry this is one of the several reasons why transmutation cannot
be the source of energy. Four more remain.

In an environment populated with Ni nuclei and H nuclei, the
spontaneous fusion of a H nucleus with another H nucleus is favoured
over spontaneous fusion with a Ni nucleus because the electrostatic
force of repulsion is smaller between two H nucleus than it is
between an H nucleus and an Ni nucleus.

yes, I have doubts about Ni + p or Ni + 2p reactions. most of
these seem endothermic to me.
I would be more inclined to think there some kind of p+p like
event. (OK Ed... p e p.... )

Good point, Bob. Simple arguments can show that the amount of
energy claimed by Rossi can not result from the Ni+p=Cu reaction
regardless of the isotope. Ironically, people will accept Rossi's
claim that transmutation is the source of energy while questioning
whether he makes any energy at all. Amazing!

I don't understand why 62Ni would make a difference in the
reaction. Are we now seriously considering that the Ni nucleus
participates in the nuclear reaction that causes the heat? Dr.
Storms proposes that physical cracks in the lattice are the NAE and
the money crop of the reaction does not have any Ni nuclei being
consumed except as a possible side reaction. If the NAE are cracks
(plausible but far from certain), then would the 62Ni create a more
desirable crack than a 60Ni or a 64Ni? How would the isotope affect
the crack as an NAE? Wouldn't only valence/conduction band electron
effects show up in the crack? If so, how could an isotope in the
lattice have any effect on what happens in the crack?
At William and Mary's ILENR-12, Dr. Peter Hagelstein told me that
transmutation of Ni is endothermic.

Ni 62 has zero spin but the others have a nuclear spin component.
So I should be relatively easy to come up with a way to separate them.
