DTRA’s advancements in nuclear and radiological detection
A new, more complex nuclear age has begun. Echoing the tensions of the Cold War amid rapidly evolving nuclear and radiological threats, preparedness in the modern age is a contest of scientific innovation. The Research and Development Directorate (RD) at the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) is charged with winning this contest.

Radiolytic corrosion has been a concern in the fusion community for some time. The relevant physical processes are reviewed from previous work in the fission field. It is shown that in water-cooled heat sink elements infusion reactors the corrosive process can be suppressed by the introduction of a small amount of dissolved hydrogen.
