The best I can come up with at the moment is

2 x Al27 + D -> Ti46 + B10 + 10.8 MeV or
Al27 + 4 x D -> B11 + Mg24 + 40.6 MeV  (however this was done in ordinary water
wasn't it?) or 
Al27 + 4 x D -> B10 + Mg25 + 36.5 MeV or
Na23 + 2 x D -> B11 + O16 + 12.8 MeV or
Na23 + 2 x D -> B10 + O17 + 5.5 MeV 

and I assume it wasn't radioactive during or after the experiment?
