Eric-- Thanks for the lead. I will do a little digging myself.
There appear to be many Ni complex organic compounds that should have bond resonances to C atoms that depend upon the mass of the Ni isotope. Tuned electric or magnetic excitation should be able to selectively break the bond for any particular Ni isotope. I do not think separation would be difficult.

This should be easy to answer. Note in my comment I suggested that particular organic Ni compounds may be selectively sensitive to tuned laser based on the isotope they contain and hence selective dissociation or other chemical reaction to accomplish separation. This is far from anything I have experience with or know about, although I can envision how it might work. Do you remember when the topic was discussed before. I would like to review that thread. Unfortunately it wasn't a single thread that I can point you to. The detail related to one of Rossi's patent applications and to a counterclaim made by Defkalion, as well as a similar but distinct claim made by Defkalion in relation to different isotopes of nickel. In Rossi's application, I do not recall the specific isotopes, although I suspect they were 62Ni and 64Ni. The key point of the discussion was that some isotopes might be more reactive than others.
