Steve, have a look at a paper of Edmund Storms (recently brought under the attention by Alain via LinkedIn): http://lenr-canr.org/acrobat/StormsEexplaining.pdf
He proposes following processes happening in the reactors of Rossi/Defkalion (using light Hydrogen): d+e+d > 4H (fast decay) > 4He + e Q=~23 MeV d+e+p > 3H (slow decay) > 3He + e Q=~4.9 MeV [22, 23] p+e+p > 2H (stable) Q=~1.4 MeV t+e+p > 4H > 4He + e t+e+d > 5H > 4H + n > 4He + e The Q values give an estimated overall energy release. Something very similar could be the case in Mizuno's latest setup (skipping the 1H to 2H step).
