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.

Accumulation of 3He can result in a change of hydrogen isotope interactions with metal due to appearance of additional structural defects. The work is devoted to comparative study of hydrogen interactions with pure Ni and Ni containing radiogenic helium. “Tritium trick” technique was used for a build-up of radiogenic helium inside Ni samples.
