If the possible Coulomb shielding effect from the neutron works at the same range as the strong force (i.e., is quite short-range), then I think the deuterons needed for the proposed bosonic deuteron capture will require a kinetic energy that is on the same order as that for neutron stripping via the Oppenheimer-Phillips process.
