We investigate the element distribution in neutrino-dominated accretion flows around black holes with the proton-rich nuclear statistical equilibrium. According to our calculations, the radial nuclei distribution (around equatorial plane) is dominated by free nucleons, 4He, and 56Fe in the inner, middle, and outer region, respectively. For the vertical distribution, the heavy nuclei tend to be produced in a thin region near the disk surface, in which we find that 56Ni is dominant for the flow with low accretion rate but it would switch to 56Fe for high accretion rate. Our results imply that 56Ni produced by central engine would tend to outflow and subsequently decay to drive the bumps observed in the light curves of the core collapse supernovae.
