A Betavoltaic cell is a device that uses a radioactive source of beta particles and a semiconductor p-n junction to generate electricity. Tritium, an isotope of hydrogen, is often used as the ...

However, two hydrogen isotopes, deuterium and tritium, are considered the most effective nuclear fuel for fusion devices.

These systems now rank among the best in the world, and they’ve helped set multiple records in China’s fusion research,’ ...

These devices could contribute to the ongoing transition ... is the gamma-ray-to-neutron branching ratio in the deuterium-tritium reaction. "Our project started with ITER, the next-generation ...

This publication contains information on the dosimetry and monitoring of tritium, the use of protective clothing for work with tritium, safe practices in tritium handling laboratories and details of ...

Inside the chamber, deuterium-tritium fuel is zapped with a bit of ... General Fusion still has more work to do. The device doesn’t have the liquid lithium wall, instead relying on solid lithium ...

Tokyo Electric Power Company started releasing treated and diluted water from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant into the ocean in August. Concerns remain that tritium in the water could ...

The collaboration primarily starts with the construction of the world's largest and most advanced tritium fuel cycle facility. A rendering of the H3AT Tritium Loop Facility (Image: UKAEA) Tritium ...

The concentration of tritium in all locations was below the level at which the test used could detect the radioactive substance, TEPCO said. Before being released, the water was filtered to remove ...
