Hyperaccreting disks around black holes are the engines that drive outflows and jets in gamma ray bursts (GRBs). The torus formed after the core collapse or a compact binary merger is composed of free nucleons, Helium, electron-positron pairs, and is cooled by neutrinos rather than photon emission. Hyperaccretion powers the ultra-relativistic jets, where the GRB prompt emission originates. The neutrons produced in the disk and also in the outflowing material are necessary for the production of heavier nuclei. We discuss here the observable consequences of nucleosynthesis and we also apply the scenario of hyperaccretion to the gravitational wave source, GW150914. Temporal coincidence reported by the Fermi satellite suggested that the black hole merger might be accompanied with a GRB. We propose that a collapsing massive star and a black hole in a close binary could lead to such event. Gravitational wave emission due to the merger of collapsed core and the companion black hole might then coincide with a weak GRB.
