But many isotopes are stable and in LENR all resultant isotopes are always stable; They are never radioactive. The Bumpy road holds still.
Even if the nucleus is completely rearranged with various particles and/or clusters of particles are coming and going into and out of the nucleus, when the coulomb barrier is lowered it all ends in the same way. Now when the barrier neutralization is removed and the barrier springs back to full power, the binding energy contained in the newly formed nucleus is completely relaxed in regards to the newly recovered strength of the coulomb barrier.
