All the fusion research that I've read about use radioactive materials like deuterium and tritium to produce neutrons, heat and more radioactive materials. All have failed to achieve net surplus energy. Even with my superficial understanding of the subject, I am unsatisfied with this approach, not just the results.

I like the idea of using aneutronic fusion, because it might be non-radioactive, and therefore safer. The Wiki entry for aneutronic fusion lists candidate reactions. The only one in which both the reactants and products are naturally occurring, stable (non-radioactive) and abundant is:

Proton + Boron → 3x Helium + 8.7 MeV

On a side note... Sodium borohydride is produced by the millions of kilograms annually, and has been considered as a solid state hydrogen storage candidate:

The charged helium ions that result from the proton-boron fusion reaction might be used to generate electricity via "alpha-voltaic conversion":

Muons, which are heavy particles like electrons, have been observed to act as a catalyst for nuclear fusion, enabling it to be achieved at much lower temperatures. There is now a patented "Muon Generator" technology available specifically for this purpose:

Basically, I am curious as to whether sodium borohydride can be used as fuel for aneutronic proton-boron fusion, catalyzed by a muon generator, and producing electricity directly from the emitted charged helium ions using alpha-voltaic generators... and furthermore, I have no idea what I'm talking about - I'm citing Wikipedia entries after all.
