In an environment populated with Ni nuclei and H nuclei, the spontaneous fusion of a H nucleus with another H nucleus is favoured over spontaneous fusion with a Ni nucleus because the electrostatic force of repulsion is smaller between two H nucleus than it is between an H nucleus and an Ni nucleus.
