One other point bears mentioning. The output was much too low for a

that from a fusion reaction, or perhaps it was just absorbed by the Ni, and
never reacted, or perhaps the uncertainty in the "0.11 gm" is much larger than
has been implied.
I doubt that much of the 0.11g of hydrogen was 'consumed' -- that's
the amount that gets into the reactor chamber. Only a very small
amount would be anywhere near the nickel (assuming it's on the wall
: approx area of wall * diameter of a nickel particle / volume of
reactor) , only part of that would get into the lattice (or
whatever), and only part of THAT would react.
