No, these are all two body reactions, because the f/H is bound in a pico/femto molecule, and approaches the target nucleus as a single (composite) entity. Upon arrival, several things can happen: 1) Two neutrons tunnel out of the target nucleus into the molecule, producing 4He. (note that tunneling of a single neutron is out of the question, as it is energetically forbidden). This option has the great advantage that only neutrons tunnel, which is, I suspect, more likely than protons tunneling in.) The energy is shared as kinetic energy between the lighter Ni nucleus and the new alpha particle. or 2) The molecule tunnels into the nucleus producing an exited nucleus that then decays through particle emission. That emission can take many forms. It may be a proton, a neutron, an alpha particle, or the nucleus of a lighter element, i.e. a fission reaction. (Strictly speaking all these possibilities are fission reactions.) or 3) Only one proton of the pair tunnels into the target nucleus resulting in a transmutation reaction, the energy of which is shared as kinetic energy between the newly transmuted nucleus and the remaining free proton. (This option is I suspect much more probable than #2, because it involves the concurrent tunneling of only a single proton, rather than both of them. Comparison with #1 is more difficult because of the ease of tunneling for neutrons compared to protons). 4) Any of the above, where at least some of the energy is shared with one or both of the shrunken electrons too. 5) A repeat of all of the above, where however the original molecule is a magnetically bound composite of at least 2 f/H molecules, containing at least 4 f/h atoms. In this case the energy released when all 4 are involved in a transmutation reaction, as in #2 above, is much larger, so the fission channel becomes much more likely. (This is beginning to sound like a patent application. ;) BTW each of the fast particles produced can "breed" hundreds of new f/H molecules, provided that sufficient normal Hydrogen is within "reach". Each of these can then produce another transmutation reaction, resulting in the localized micro explosions that are responsible for the craters that are detected.
