Nuclear News 40 Under 40: The wait is over
Following the enthusiastic response from the nuclear community in 2024 for the inaugural NN 40 Under 40, the Nuclear News team knew we had to take up the difficult task in 2025 of turning it into an annual event—though there was plenty of uncertainty as to how the community would receive a second iteration this year. That uncertainty was unfounded, clearly, as the tight-knit nuclear community embraced the chance to celebrate its up-and-coming generation of scientists, engineers, and policy makers who are working to grow the influence of this oft-misunderstood technology.

Hydrogen permeation window is a candidate not only as the tritium recovery device from liquid lithium, but also as the hydrogen isotopes monitor for molten lithium because hydrogen permeation rate is dominated by hydrogen concentration. In this study, changing tritium concentration in lithium, tritium permeation through iron window contacting with tritium was quantified by ionization chambers. As a result, measurable amount of tritium permeated the window even though tritium concentration in lithium was in the order of wppb. The amount of tritium permeation increased as tritium concentration in lithium increased. Iron window is hopeful as tritium monitor for liquid lithium.
