In this process of building up excess energy, some neutrons are pressed into nuclei resulting in formation of tritium. The capturing of these neutrons in forming tritium dampens the radioactivity which normally accompanies hot fusion. of course the pressing also results in some formation of helium-4 as a by product. If the crystalline structure is sufficiently dense, to capture more evenly distributed deuterium for the Casimir effect to be more uniform across the crystalline structure, other transmutations may occur, also.

I tend toward the Casimir effect as source for pulling energy from the zero point field because the LENR can be generated via sonic means, also, in these experiments.
