A dynamical model is proposed to account for cold fusion processes in deuterated palladium on the basis of lattice collapse induced by thermodynamic instability. The relevant role of deuteron drag in enhancing the nuclear fusion rate is analyzed. The nuclear reaction yield is explicitly calculated as a function of the palladium-deuterium thermodynamic parameters.
