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 uptake of tritium by tungsten and its release behavior have been investigated. Specimens annealed at 773 K, 873 K, 973 K, 1,073 K and 1,173 K for 3 hours and loaded with tritium at 773 K for 3 hours accumulated 0.125 ppm, 0.068 ppm, 0.067 ppm, 0.038 ppm and 0.033 ppm, respectively (tritium solubilities were 3.6x 10-9 at.fr.Pa-1/2, 2.0x 10-9 at.fr.Pa-1/2, 1.9x 10-9 at.fr.Pa-1/2, 1.1x 10-9 at.fr.Pa-12/ and 9.7x 10-10 at.fr.Pa-1/2, respectively). The difference is attributed to the existence of trapping sites or oxide films.
