Christmas Night
Twas the night before Christmas when all through the houseNo electrons were flowing through even my mouse.
All devices were plugged in by the chimney with careWith the hope that St. Nikola Tesla would share.

The results of calculated and experimental studies of the influence of some parameters (the temperature and time of tritiation and aging, the cooling rate after tritiation) on the helium-3 concentration in metals are given. It has been experimentally found that the hydrogen concentration in [null]3 mm samples of 12Cr18Ni10Ti steel, which were saturated with hydrogen at 773 K and 50 MPa, makes up ~ 0.6 of the equilibrium hydrogen concentration immediately after cooling to room temperature and ~ 0.5 after 5000-hour aging.
