That is a QM effect which does not scale up. The same could be said for much of LENR. In addition, it would seem that the Lawson criterion of hot plasma fusion would also apply, in a modified (reworded) way to the new and improved semantics for lattice enhanced but no longer "cold" fusion. i.e. when we observe effective temperature and pressure on the femtoscale.
As for input - an external electron beam of hot fusion could be modeled as internal k-shell or l-shell resonant electron. Here is the Wiki site for Lawson.

IOW - one needs only to reduce the geometry of the active site to its actual minimal dimension to see the similarity to plasma fusion, except for one big distinction.. The lack of gamma radiation remains the main difference between hot and (formerly) cold -- and this is where the lattice itself comes into play.
We have to assume that Hagelstein got that part right, or close - and that the lattice carries away most of the downshifted excess instead of gamma radiation. With that addition, the old "cold fusion" becomes the new QM-lattice-fusion.
It never was cold, was it?

The reason why there is no gamma stems from the transfer of spin energy in
small quanta of angular momentum—nuclear to elecroic—with the same entangled
system—the crystalline lattice of the host material. The time frame may be
very short—less than a femto- second.
The new entangled system in effect changes phase with to a quasi stable
condition. The potential energy of the nuclear components is lower and the
kinetic l energy of the atomic electrons is higher with total energy being the
same. The higher kinetic energy (thermal energy) is then shared with the
universe by radiation of EM energy until it comes to a thermal equilibrium with
the environment at a slow pace compared to a femto-second or shorter pace.
***From my standpoint LANT (lattice assisted nuclear transmutation) is a more accurate description of the phenomena that occurs in the entangled system, and the 2nd law of TD does not apply
