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 Varying Temperature Irradiation Experiment in the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) was carried out in the framework of the Japan-USA fusion cooperation program (JUPITER). The objective of the experiment is to investigate the performance of fusion structural materials subject to temperature variation during operation. The experiment will also contribute to re-examining the available fission
