Find all integers N for which the expression
√(N + 70710678√173) - √(N - 70710678√173)
has an integer value.

While there are 126 values for N+P and corresponding N-P, there are only 63 values for N, as discovered by sorting the output from a program that evaluates N (lexicographic order rather than numeric order, but it accomplishes the pairing):
