Previously, it has been repeatedly suggested that the radioactive decay of nuclei is not a random phenomenon and can occur under the influence of a neutrino flux. Our recent experiment [1] showed that the neutrino flux created by a nuclear reactor affects the decay of nuclei in an isolated source ⁹⁰Sr/⁹⁰Y, whose beta-electrons have an average energy of the order of 1 MeV. This paper presents the results of searching for the effect of the neutrino flux generated by a pulsed nuclear reactor on the rate of decay of ⁶³Ni nuclei. These nuclei were chosen as the object of research due to the fact that they have a low energy of beta-electrons of the order of 50 keV. Measurements have shown that the same flux of reactor neutrinos has approximately an order of magnitude stronger effect on ⁶³Ni nuclei than on the previously studied nuclei ⁹⁰Sr/⁹⁰Y.
