ZrCo alloy has been considered as one of most promising materials for handling hydrogen
isotopes in International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER), due to its remarkable …

Fossil fuels are now used to meet over 80% of the world's energy demands, but they have
the disadvantages of being unsustainable economically and polluting the environment …

Trapping ions, such as deuterium and tritium, inside a potential well to generate neutrons is
a well-established technology through electric and magnetic fields via the inertial …

Abstract Deuterium/Tritium (D/T) handling in defined proportions are pivotal to maintain
steady-state operation for fusion reactors. However, the hydrogen isotope effect in metal …

A glow discharge (GD) fusion neutron source that utilizes nuclear fusion reactions of
deuterium has been upgraded. The fusion reactions in this device mainly occur by collisions …

In our previous study, we showed that the anti-disproportionation properties of Zr 0.8 Ti 0.2-x
Nb x Co alloys were remarkably improved by the co-substitution of Zr with Ti and Nb …

The glow discharge–type fusion neutron source is a compact system that generates
neutrons by inducing a nuclear fusion reaction between ionized-trapped deuterium and/or …

Intensive research and development activities have been conducted for preliminary design
of a water-cooled ceramic breeder (WCCB) blanket system. As a part of these activities …

ZrCo alloy is easily poisoned by impurity gases such as O2, CO, and CO2, resulting in a
deterioration in hydrogen storage performance. In this study, we conducted a …

Presented herein are the outcomes of an experimental test involving a pioneering portable-
active interrogation system designed for the nondestructive detection of special nuclear …
