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.

The "CEA cryogenic target fabrication project" includes many fields as material science, and technological research on the Cryogenic Target Assembly (CTA), DT filling and cryogenic transport to the Laser "Mégajoule" (LMJ). The research program to fill and transport CTAs to LMJ in 2010 is described. During the past 2 years, many designs and prototyping have been achieved allowing, at the end of the decade, the filling of CTAs by permeation.
