The barrier is still there. Its like a rabbit trying to get over you garden fence. The barrier stops it. You just step over it because the length of your step exceeds that of the barrier. Over you go, no thump. The ONLY way the Coulomb barrier can be crossed without emitting radiation,the thump, is where we have a force with a longer range than the Coulombic. The expelled spin orbit force does the trick.
