Jones, You've got a better set of night-vision goggles so you can see a bit deeper!

Mark, You could be on the way to something valid and most unexpected - with embrittlement being a critical parameter - especially with the HotCat. But you may not have gone deep enough into the rabbit hole, since this insight on embrittlement invariably leads all the way to complete porosity - not simply a crack. Come to think of it - plasmons require a dielectric - and the 310 steel tube does not qualify but, it could be pressed tightly into the SiC tube so the interface between the two is where the action is ... in the HotCat. Previously, I had thought that the SS tube was sputtered with the active material, but it makes more sense that this tube, at startup - is merely a holder of a hydride and a f/H catalyst. The bulk of the gain comes as the f/H transfers through the SS onto the interfacial surface with the SiC. These are known as intersubband-polaritons, resulting from coupling of an infrared or terahertz photon (from the resistance heater) with an intersubband excitation. My bet is that SiC has a strong resonance at ~20 THz. This assumes, in the way that some of us have modified Mills theory for years, that the first step in redundancy is endothermic (QM borrowed) and gain only comes from later steps or from nuclear reactions of the denser hydrogen in contact with the electric fields of plasmon/polaritons/ So embrittlement could be leading to "somewhere else" as they say in Rabbit holes. Back in Kansas, sez Alice, you'd generally get to somewhere else - if you run very fast for a long time, as we've been doing... "A slow sort of country that is" sez the Red Queen. "Here in Volandia, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast!"

It all started when Jones commented on this statement by Rossi about Prof. Focardi's passing: "I will never forget our work together and that day in the Brasimone Nuclear facility." One lab at the Brasimone Nuclear facility is involved with nuclear reactor material embrittlement... "Hydrogen embrittlement in martensitic steels" http://web.brasimone.enea.it/mat/hydrogen/hydindex.htm What happens when embrittlement occurs in a metal??? Can you say, NAE??? ;-) Jones... race ya to the bottom of this hole! J -Mark Iverson
