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.

A contact device of a new type - a sulfonic cation resin membrane (Nafio type) contact device for separating isotopes of hydrogen in the water-hydrogen system is represented. Its main feature is space separation of hydrogen and liquid water flows that allows using non-hydrophobic catalysts for realizing the process. Results of research on the isotope exchange efficiency carried out for model protium-deuterium system have been represented. Mass exchange efficiency dependencies on temperature (T = 333-413 K), pressure (P = 0.1-0.4 MPa), the hydrogen flow rate (GH2 = 20-120 NL/h) have been investigated for both hydrophobic and hydrophilic catalysts. High efficiency of membrane contact devices is noted in carrying out the chemical isotope exchange between hydrogen and water in the given range of conditions.
