In the O-P process what disrupts the glueon bonding of the neutron to the proton to allow their separation?
It does not happen very often given the concentration of D in the universe.

How can isotopes change without the presence of neutrons, The total lack of neutrons is an important dot to be connected. Yes -- good point. I'm thinking not of neutron capture from a swarm of free neutrons (a la W-L), but of neutron-stripping reactions via the Oppenheimer-Phillips process, where a neutron is stripped from deuterium.
