He's obviously got an interest in emphasizing a stable decay product. But there is a table in Ed Storms's book that summarizes transmutations that have been observed in LENR experiments, and they are nearly all to stable isotopes. As something I've followed less than systematically in other contexts as well, this does seem to be the case most of the time. Eric
