    Yes. The key point is that while the Fermi contact interaction is zero (since no electrons are inside the nucleus), the Bohr-Weisskopf effect still leads to corrections. This happens because the nuclear magnetization is distributed over a finite volume, and the electron’s magnetic field still penetrates the nucleus, leading to non-uniform hyperfine interactions across the nuclear region.
