Whatever. Fusion is taking two or more atoms and fusing them into a new atom typically defined by the the atomic number of the two combining atoms. The lack of discussion about the resultant element is disturbing. Also the lack of discussion about the wavelength or energy of the radiation is also worrisome. This defines the nuclear processes occurring, or it is the fingerprint of what has occurred.
Guess what they want next...FUNDING!

The first paragraph wants us to believe that they’re fusing hydrogen with nickel
H + Ni -> Cu
Which would be a somewhat unlikely way to go. The transition from nickel to copper is energetically disfavorable already, but I suppose by losing a free hydrogen nuclei you might still end up producing energy. I mean if you were fusing anything in the first place, but fusing two light elements would be more productive in any event.
