Part 3/7:
The proposed process begins when protons from the hydrogen atoms interact with the Ni-62 and Ni-64 isotopes. When a single proton attaches to Ni-62, it transforms into a stable isotope of copper (Cu-63). A similar reaction with Ni-64 can yield Cu-65. In cases where two protons are involved, the reaction can lead to the creation of zinc isotopes such as Zn-64 and Zn-66. One of the significant advantages of this process is that all resulting isotopes are stable, thereby eliminating the concerns associated with radioactive waste.
