This comment by Robert E. Godes, Chief Technical Officer at Brillouin Energy was just made on this thread (regarding Godes’ thoughts on the Lugano E-Cat report) in response to a comment by LCD who noted that in appendix 3 of the report, copper was mentioned as being found in the fuel:
I had not really looked at appendix 3. I am glad to see that Cu63 does not appear to have changed much between start and finish seen on page 52. As I had predicted, as noted above, Cu65 is actually higher than Cu63 in the ash after the experiment. (Page 52) The source of this new Cu65 is beta- decay of Ni65 which comes from capture of ultra cold neutrons by lighter isotopes of Ni. Thanks LCD for point out the Cu on page 51
