I liked what you did. It gave a first approximation very good answer.
Now the next thing I have been trying to get a grip on is,
"What is the phonon frequency of the dissolved hydrogen in a cold
fusion palladium electrode?"
I don't even know what the restraints are. Does is move in a group
and what then is M?
Were is it attached and what then is K.
Any ideas.

The lattice sites occupied by the hydrogen are points of lowest
potential between lattice atoms, e.g. tetrahedral sites. The value
of k varies with the speed of sound in the lattice and thus
temperature and other factors. The presence of hydrogen itself
affects this, i.e. the loading phase. Much more important than any
spring constant is the actual hydrogen *tunneling* hopping rate.
This is a very complex subject. The best way to get a feel for it is
to read Hydrogen in Metals III. See:

There are some good prices on used ones. I bought mine many years
ago at retail. Sigh.
In any case, I was led inexorably to a different model of how cold
fusion comes about. That model is described here:

That only scratches the surface. There is much more to come.
