The sparcity of real data and the large uncertainties in the models leads me to think that the numbers expressed for 71Ga(gamma, alpha)67Cu could be an order of magnitude too high.   Of course, the reviewers will not have better estimates, either, but once this report is finalized I think that we should have a conversation about these calculations.

How one finesses these two issues in the final document is an important question, but I would argue that one can typically exploit such uncertainties via variations on the timeless phrase: "Further research is urgently needed."
