Assessing the risk of proliferation via fissile breeding in ARC-class fusion power plants
Construction of a nuclear weapon requires access to kilogram-scale quantities of fissile material, which can be bred from fertile material like U-238 and Th-232 via neutron capture. Future fusion power plants, with total neutron source rates in excess of

Measurement of natural levels of tritium in water.
This paper describes equipment and techniques used in the tritium laboratory at the Australian Atomic Energy Commission Research Establishment for the determination of low level activities of tritium in water samples. Samples are enriched by electrolysis
