Playing the “bad guy” to enhance next-generation safety
Sometimes, cops and robbers is more than just a kid’s game. At the Department of Energy’s national laboratories, researchers are channeling their inner saboteurs to discover vulnerabilities in next-generation nuclear reactors, making sure that they’re as safe as possible before they’re even constructed.

R&D activities on the tritium storage and delivery system include the development of getter beds to increase tritium recovery and delivery performance, the investigation of tritium reaction characteristics with ZrCo metal-hydride, in-bed calorimetry as tritium measurement techniques, and the development of process design technologies for the storage and delivery system such as pump performance test and bed simulator. The current status of the R&D activities on these subjects is addressed in this paper.
