The transmutation of lithium atoms to helium in 1932 was the first fully man-made nuclear reaction, and lithium deuteride serves as a fusion fuel in staged thermonuclear weapons. (WikiPedia)

Lithium is also used in producing helium of which there seems to be a very limited supply; in fact it’s in critically low. As well as, it’s part of a nuclear power generation.

Lithium it seems has many more uses then most people are aware of.

For example; the cost of helium mining on the moon and bringing it back it would cost around $4Bil per ton.
I wonder what it would cost to make helium using lithium. Perhaps another industry to be born?

As you stated helium is made out if lithium by nuclear reaction. Not the most suitable process for industrial mass production.
Helium can be found in the atmosphere of our planet everywhere.
