The temperature dependence of the coefficient of tunneling through the Coulomb barrier is estimated for nuclei of the hydrogen isotopes at comparatively low temperatures using a model of screened Coulomb interaction potential between the isotopes put inside an external oscillator potential well. The temperature dependences for the tunneling coefficient are calculated for pp-, pd-, pt-, dd-, and dt-processes at different screening radii. The probable role of pp-reactions is discussed.
