 :1. 6Li reacts with thermal neutrons to form metastable high energy 7Li which may release the excess energy as 4.7 MeV Gamma ray or "emit an Alpha particle" e.g. divide and split the energy between an 4He and 3H (Tritium), OR it may re-emit the neutron. 235U has a wide difference in activity between Thermal and fast neutrons; not so with Lithium. 7Li will absorb thermal neutrons to form 8Li which subsequently decomposes to 8Be then to 2x 4He.  7Li can absorb a Gamma ray and the metastable high energy 7Li will emit a neutron and 6Li. (Reaction is used when Lithium used in Neutron sources) Fast neutrons will engage 7Li in a (n,2n) > 6Li reaction multiplying neutrons. I can find no reference to irradiating 7Li with neutrons to create Tritium (tritium production would require 5He be produced as well), except as they first create 6Li. 
 :2. See Nuclear reaction and Aneutronic fusion, 2H (Deuterium) +  6Li = 2x 4He and 2H (Deuterium) +  7Li = 2x 4He + neutron are lower energy reactions and are more likely to occur. The bomb would need to be enriched in 6Li because 7Li does not generate Tritium on neutron irradiation. An x-ray absorption by 7Li would generate Tritium but similar energy X-ray would also split Deuterium into proton and neutron per Neutron source and Neutron generator articles. 
 :3. Absorption of neutron by Boron-10 generates enough excess energy to split the resulting 11B into 7Li and 4He. 
 :4. Magnesium is Zinc-like: easily pairs S electrons, monoatomic vapor, unusually low boiling point compared to Lithium which is higher then its class. Magnesium does not interchange in minerals containing Lithium, Magnesium interchanges with Ferrous ions.  
 :5. The distinction between "Lithium" and "Lithium ion" battery types is ignorant of chemistry. Why not just list the electrochemical potential of Lithium? Battery potential doesn't really belong. Lithium:Thionyl Chloride (circuit boards) is 3.7 volts, Lithium:IronPhosphate is 3.2 volts; I could not find a "nanowire" battery at Walmart but they did have 1.5 Volt Lithium Batteries. 
 :6. The first stage of Hydrogen fusion in stars is formation of transient 2He (how unlikely huh?) with a tiny but finite possibility of becoming Deuterium instead of flying apart. Several rate limiting steps later we get 4He. H+H+H+H=He is a millenially long reaction but Suns have volume. The first step of Helium burning, 8Be, like Hydrogen fusion is unstable and forms in equilibrium amounts. Lucky the Sun can support endothermic reactions! Fusion has a diagram of fusion rates vs temperature and Helium burning tails into Proton only thermonuclear fusion. As from Neutron references above, Deuterium is decomposed by a 2.26MeV photon and 9Be by a 1.7MeV photon. I would supposed that trans-Helium elements such as Li, Be, and Boron are stable to thermonuclear conditions; incorrectly stated in this article. And I could find no isotopic reference to 10Be decay by alpha emission, it decays 100% to 10B not to Lithium.  
 :7. In Tritium "High-energy neutrons irradiating boron-10 will also occasionally produce tritium. The more common result of boron-10 neutron capture is  and a single alpha particle.
