Ahhhhh..here is the closest find. A link to a blog called:
Quantum Fusion..a nice term:

One good comment serves to show that Godes (Brillouin) theory - a derivative
of W-L, is simply wrong. In fact, it is more implausible that Larsen's
absurd rationale.Quote from Eric Lund: "I count four collisions that have to happen for this process to operate as described: p + e- -> n + ν p + n -> 2H 2H + n -> 3H 3H + n -> 4H followed by a beta decay 4H -> 4He + e- + antiν where ν represents a neutrino. The first collision and the beta decay are plausible. [nope: it is implausible as well] What I don't see is how you get the other three collisions to happen while conserving both energy and momentum (and have them happen before the neutrons decay via n -> p + e- + antiν). I don't see any evidence of intentional fraud, but the underlying physics is, as Pauli put it, not even wrong. In stars, the way you get deuterium is via p + p -> 2H + e+ + ν. That's in addition to the implementation issues discussed in the post."
