Zaporizhzhia ‘extremely fragile’ relying on single off-site power line, IAEA warns
Europe’s largest nuclear power plant has just one remaining power line for essential nuclear safety and security functions, compared with its original 10 functional lines before the military conflict with Russia, warned Rafael Mariano Grossi, director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency.

Adsorption and desorption of D2O or H2O, as a simulator of HTO, on iron surface covered with thin iron oxide film were studied by thermal desorption (TD), electron stimulated desorption (ESD), photon stimulated desorption (PSD), X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). When the iron was heated under constant heating rate (5K/min), adsorbed D2O was desorbed around 400K and 600K. Adsorbed D2O which could not be desorbed by heating to 773K could be desorbed by irradiation with photon or bombardment with electron.
