The updated Brillouin hypothesis for how the reaction works, interesting reading. Note that they do comment on the reaction reaching a run-away state when the lattice is heavily loaded that overwhelms the local capacity to absorb the energy and results in the release of some neutrons and x-rays - I assume that in their view it is those neutrons that produce some copper even while the majority of the energy is coming from a catalysed fusion of 1H or 2H to 4He. http://www.brillouinenergy.com/BrillouinEnergyHypothesis.pdf
