## TL;DR

This paper defends the possibility of heavy element production in high baryon density regions of the early universe, demonstrating it can occur without conflicting with light element and CMB observations.

## Contribution

It provides a detailed analysis showing that under certain conditions, heavy element synthesis in high baryon density regions is compatible with observational constraints.

## Key findings

- Heavy elements can be produced in high baryon density regions without contradicting observations.
- Certain parameter spaces allow for significant heavy element synthesis.
- The model aligns with light element and CMB data.

## Abstract

This is a reply report to astro-ph/0604264. We studied heavy element production in high baryon density region in early universe astro-ph/0507439. However it is claimed in astro-ph/0604264 that small scale but high baryon density region contradicts observations for the light element abundance or in order not to contradict to observations high density region must be so small that it cannot affect the present heavy element abundance.   In this paper we study big bang nucleosynthesis in high baryon density region and show that in certain parameter spaces it is possible to produce enough amount of heavy element without contradiction to CMB and light element observations.
