A more open future for nuclear research
A growing number of institutional, national, and funder mandates are requiring researchers to make their published work immediately publicly accessible, through either open repositories or open access (OA) publications. In addition, both private and public funders are developing policies, such as those from the Office of Science and Technology Policy and the European Commission, that ask researchers to make publicly available at the time of publication as much of their underlying data and other materials as possible. These, combined with movement in the scientific community toward embracing open science principles (seen, for example, in the dramatic rise of preprint servers like arXiv), demonstrate a need for a different kind of publishing outlet.

Synthetic zeolite is the candidate material of the separation column of the gas chromatograph for the hydrogen isotope analysis. Mordenite (MOR) is one of the zeolite, and has been reported that the MOR column can separate hydrogen isotope at about 200K. So, the present authors have investigated the adsorption capacities of H2 and D2 on MOR at various temperatures, and have predicted the adsorption isotherms of HD, HT, DT and T2. In this work, the adsorption capacities of tritium on MOR at 77K and 87K were investigated, and they were compared with the predicted isotherms. The observed isotherm at 87K agreed with the predicted isotherm well in low pressure region. However, at 77K, the adsorption capacity at low pressure region was smaller than that of D2.
