We can assume that there is a significant amount of randomness in the LENR process that disrupts the nucleus. Another factor that adds to the unpredictability of the transmutation results is the added elements other than nickel in the reactor chamber that find their way into the reaction zone.
DGT documents these elements as inputs to the process in their ICCF-17 paper. If you take a look at what transmutations occur during the proton-21 reactor or that of Piantelli and Arata, you will see a high degree of random reaction products. The elements go into the reaction zone many times and are reworked by the LENR reaction many times over and over as the reaction proceeds over time. The only quantum mechanical rule that applies is that positive nuclear binding energy must be released as a result of the reaction. If no energy is released, then the transmutation does not happen. In this process, both fusion and fission are likely to occur. It is more likely that light elements will evolve in the reaction then is the formation of heavy elements. Even numbered elements like NI62 will react and elements with an odd number of nucleons will not. But these odd numbered elements that remain unaffected will serve to retain the nano-structures that support the reaction.
