Cattle industry poised to lead the way to a cooler Earth
In discussing how to counter global warming, it’s pretty easy to argue that nuclear should be the major electricity source and heat producer to replace fossil fuels. At 6 grams per kilowatt-hour, it has the lowest carbon emissions of any energy source, according to the United Nations, and is objectively the safest form of energy for humans and the environment alike, again from a recent UN report.

The results of calculated and experimental studies of the influence of some parameters (the temperature and time of tritiation and aging, the cooling rate after tritiation) on the helium-3 concentration in metals are given. It has been experimentally found that the hydrogen concentration in [null]3 mm samples of 12Cr18Ni10Ti steel, which were saturated with hydrogen at 773 K and 50 MPa, makes up ~ 0.6 of the equilibrium hydrogen concentration immediately after cooling to room temperature and ~ 0.5 after 5000-hour aging.
