I may have missed the paragraph that stated the amount of material that was taken from within the reactor as ash. Did they recover approximately the same amount as was put in? Also, I do not recall how much of the ash by weight was nickel and lithium. Perhaps I need to read the report again to look for these details. Does anyone know whether or not the isotropic shifted metals actually added up to the total amount of nickel, etc. at the beginning? I would not be surprised to find that some of the metals from the fuel found their way to being attached to the body of the reactor due to the extreme temperatures.

Sorry, but that makes no sense. The material that came out proves there are isotopic shifts. What stayed behind cannot "unprove" that. What did you have in mind? That the other isotopes all got left behind? That would be an isotope separation technology of a totally unexpected and inexplicable new type. It would be as miraculous as transmutation. Also, if you "cannot imagine how" then your assertion has no place in a serious scientific discussion. You have to imagine how, and other people have to agree that what you imagine is plausible. This is not a fantasy role playing game, where you can invoke dragons or miracles. - Jed
