Trump suggests U.S. takeover of Zaporizhzhia plant in Ukraine-Russia ceasefire talks
Amid recent ceasefire talks between Russia and Ukraine, President Donald Trump suggested the U.S. should take control of Ukraine’s nuclear power plants for long-term security, the Associated Press reported.
“American ownership of those plants could be the best protection for that infrastructure,” Trump suggested, according to a later statement.

Scanning calorimetry of a confined, reversible hydrogen sorbent material has been previously proposed as a method to determine compositions of unknown mixtures of diatomic hydrogen isotopologues and helium. Application of this concept could result in greater process knowledge during the handling of these gases. Previously published studies have focused on mixtures that do not include tritium. This paper focuses on modeling to predict the effect of tritium in mixtures of the isotopologues on a calorimetry scan. The model predicts that tritium can be measured with a sensitivity comparable to that observed for hydrogen-deuterium mixtures, and that under some conditions, it may be possible to determine the atomic fractions of all three isotopes in a gas mixture.
