Hi,

Okay -- those are good to see.   I've been wondering about my approximations for electron captures.
I'm currently doing them 2 at a time, but that may too much (hence the lower Ye's from mesa).
Tomorrow I'll try an alternative that does a single electron capture and also emits a neutron and a proton.
e.g., instead of ni56 -> fe56 I'll try ni56 -> fe54 + n + p.
We'll see if that does a better job.

cheers,
Bill
