Gamma rays are detected associated with a number of different aspects of
thunderstorms. As far 'conventional' lightning is concerned it seems to
be associated with initiation of the forks in the forked leader en route
to the ground in advance of the (visible) return stroke when the large
currents flow

Are you thinking that hot fusion may be occurring within the lightning stroke?
I have read that gamma rays have been detected under some conditions.

Lightning contains many high velocity electrons, which are not present in a
metal lattice.
