Hmm, you won't be measuring transmutation products by weighing them. Also,
"pure" materials are more pure than you suggest
(http://www.sigmaaldrich.com/catalog/search?interface=All&term=nickel+powder&focus=product&mode=match
partialmax). (In any case, the spectrum of a reference sample is just
subtracted from the transmutated spectrum.) Also, I am assuming it is
completely feasible to buy some atom mass spectroscopy service off a lab or Uni
without it costing an astronomical amount.
If the setup is "advantageously" configured you will get "lots" of heat (atom
bomb for example), but if you were blindfolded you will get lots, some or
none(tm). The latter three all have transmutations occurring. None(tm) means
no heat, but with transmutation occurring. There also exists a result of
none(nout) which means no heat and NO LENR. The whole point of this is the
importance of deducing which reactions are occurring, to help us find our way
to the "advantageous" configuration (lots of heat). (Advantageous if you're
interested in heat).

difficult..
It is a lot easier than measuring isotopic shifts in picogram samples of
material mixed in with grams of contamination.
Bear in mind that radioactivity was first discovered by the heat it produces.
What I find a disturbing though, is that despite having pretty good accounts
of the constituent nuclei, nobody can figure out what the reactions are!
Experts tell me they cannot figure this out because they do not have access to
the instruments they need. These instruments costs a great deal of money.
Barrels of money. Cold fusion research is done on a shoestring by superannuated
professors. They are shut out of most universities and other labs.
If people could measure transmutations, believe me, they would. They don't have
the equipment, the expertise or the funding.
