Strategic Objectives
• Understand the atomic mechanisms of hydrogen isotope diffusion.
• Design advanced multi-layer coatings to inhibit permeation.
• Analyze the thermodynamic interactions at metal-gas interfaces.
• Implement robust containment strategies for fusion and fission reactors.
The Core Challenge
In high-temperature nuclear environments, tritium's ability to diffuse through solid metal threatens structural integrity and safety protocols.
