The muon capture reaction μ − + d → n + n + ν μ in the doublet hyperfine state is studied using nuclear potentials and consistent currents derived in the chiral effective field theory, which are local and expressed in coordinate space (the so-called Norfolk models). Only the largest contribution due to the 1 S 0 nn scattering state is considered. Particular attention is given to the estimate of theoretical uncertainty, for which four sources have been identified: 1) the model dependence, 2) the chiral-order convergence for the weak nuclear current, 3) the uncertainty in the single-nucleon axial form factor, and 4) the numerical technique adopted to solve the bound and scattering A = 2 systems. This last source of uncertainty has turned out to be essentially negligible. For the 1 S 0 doublet muon capture rate Γ D ( S 0 1 ) , we obtain Γ D ( S 0 1 ) = 255.8 ( 0.6 ) ( 4.4 ) ( 2.9 ) s−1, where the three errors come from the first three sources of uncertainty. The value for Γ D ( S 0 1 ) obtained within this local chiral framework is compared with previous calculations and found in very good agreement.
