Unfortunately such a reaction would be endothermic. However adding a couple of protons might do the trick, and have the advantage of compensating for any excess neutrons at the same time. The sort of thing I had in mind is:- 90Zr+1H+1H => 92Mo + 12.616 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 91Nb + 1H + 5.154 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 88Zr + 4He + 7.009 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 4He + 4He + 84Sr + 1.513 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 80Kr + 12C + 3.703 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 76Se + 16O + 5.800 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 70Ge + 22Ne + 4.398 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 71Ge + 21Ne + 1.450 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 72Ge + 20Ne + 5.439 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 67Ga + 25Na + 2.048 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 68Ga + 24Na + 1.315 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 69Ga + 23Na + 4.668 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 64Zn + 28Mg + 6.833 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 65Zn + 27Mg + 6.309 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 66Zn + 26Mg + 10.925 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 67Zn + 25Mg + 6.884 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 68Zn + 24Mg + 9.751 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 61Cu + 31Al + 2.748 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 62Cu + 30Al + 4.481 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 63Cu + 29Al + 9.606 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 64Cu + 28Al + 8.085 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 65Cu + 27Al + 10.271 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 66Cu + 26Al + 4.279 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 67Cu + 25Al + 2.046 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 58Ni + 34Si + 5.995 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 59Ni + 33Si + 7.459 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 60Ni + 32Si + 14.364 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 61Ni + 31Si + 12.981 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 62Ni + 30Si + 16.990 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 63Ni + 29Si + 13.218 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 64Ni + 28Si + 14.403 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 65Ni + 27Si + 3.321 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 56Co + 36P + 2.101 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 57Co + 35P + 10.013 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 58Co + 34P + 10.214 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 59Co + 33P + 14.377 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 60Co + 32P + 11.765 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 61Co + 31P + 13.150 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 62Co + 30P + 7.442 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 63Co + 29P + 4.603 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 54Fe + 38S + 8.925 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 55Fe + 37S + 10.186 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 56Fe + 36S + 17.080 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 57Fe + 35S + 14.837 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 58Fe + 34S + 17.896 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 59Fe + 33S + 13.060 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 60Fe + 32S + 13.238 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 61Fe + 31S + 3.777 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 51Mn + 41Cl + 1.363 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 52Mn + 40Cl + 4.070 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 53Mn + 39Cl + 10.299 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 54Mn + 38Cl + 11.164 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 55Mn + 37Cl + 15.283 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 56Mn + 36Cl + 12.242 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 57Mn + 35Cl + 12.311 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 58Mn + 34Cl + 6.159 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 59Mn + 33Cl + 2.294 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 48Cr + 44Ar + 1.303 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 49Cr + 43Ar + 3.151 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 50Cr + 42Ar + 10.493 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 51Cr + 41Ar + 10.327 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 52Cr + 40Ar + 16.267 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 53Cr + 39Ar + 14.338 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 54Cr + 38Ar + 17.458 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 55Cr + 37Ar + 11.866 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 56Cr + 36Ar + 11.323 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 57Cr + 35Ar + 1.382 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 47V + 45K + 4.421 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 48V + 44K + 6.092 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 49V + 43K + 10.360 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 50V + 42K + 10.054 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 51V + 41K + 13.571 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 52V + 40K + 10.787 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 53V + 39K + 11.466 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 54V + 38K + 4.502 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 44Ti + 48Ca + 7.573 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 45Ti + 47Ca + 7.157 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 46Ti + 46Ca + 13.069 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 47Ti + 45Ca + 11.555 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 48Ti + 44Ca + 15.767 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 49Ti + 43Ca + 12.778 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 50Ti + 42Ca + 15.784 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 51Ti + 41Ca + 10.676 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 52Ti + 40Ca + 10.122 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 46Sc + 46Sc + 9.325 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 47Sc + 45Sc + 11.211 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 48Sc + 44Sc + 8.123 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 49Sc + 43Sc + 8.551 MeV 90Zr+1H+1H => 50Sc + 42Sc + 2.469 MeV ...of course, one would have to experiment to see just which products were produced.
