Jones--
As I pointed out the Cu-63 and Cu-65 is not radioactive--its stable.
Cu-59 is radioactive as I pointed out. However it decays to a non-gamma
emitting Ni-59 isotope with a significant half-life for beta+ decay.
Spin energy fractionation occurs in small units and has many potential
particles capable of spin changes available for participation, including
electrons.

Ni-62 and Ni64 are not a big constituents of natural Ni--Ni-58 is the
largest at about 68.3%. However, they both provide about 4.5% of the
natural Ni isotopes. Both Ni-62 and Ni-64 would transmute to stable
Cu -63
and Cu-65 upon absorption of a proton. There may be no gammas emitted. On
the other hand transmutation of Ni-58 to Cu-59 would likely involve gammas
(maybe as high as 1.3 Mev associated with Cu-59 decay to Ni-59 which
itself
is radioactive with no direct gamma emission, only positron emission with
its subsequent annililation with an electron producing the .51 Mev back to
back gammas.
Bob,
In general you are asking too much of spin coupling to participate in
proton
addition reactions. There is an energy gap of at least 6 orders of
magnitude. And in the end you still cannot account for copper ash which
should be extremely radioactive but is not.
Far better IMHO to look mass->energy conversion somewhere else.
