In the one example in which we have a full accounting of the element percentage in the fuel and also as transmuted in the ash is the DGT transmutation assay provided in the ICCF-17 paper. In that assay, there was a large percentage increase in light elements including lithium, beryllium, and boron.
If past is prolong, I would expect that the Lithium 6 seen in the Lagano ash assay was produced through some undefined LENR nuclear fusion reaction involving hydrogen.
