Possible: H2 + Ni58 => Co59 (enhanced double electron capture*) + proton + 9.2 MeV or H + Ni62 => Co59 + He4 + 0.3 MeV then H + Co59 => Fe56 + He4 + 3.2 MeV * A Hydrino molecule has 2 shrunken electrons. If both of these are captured, along with one of the protons, they convert Cu59 directly into Co59. Such double electron capture may occur when the result of both no electron capture, and single electron capture would be an unstable nucleus, as is the case here. (both Cu59 & Ni59 are unstable). The first of the two Co59 producing reactions may explain 11% iron, the second alone, would not, as there is insufficient Ni62 to start with, however it may contribute.
