The University of California, Berkeley (UCB) proposes to investigate the speciation of solutes and the impact of light-element solutes on solvent structure for the following elements: hydrogen (tritium is an activation product in coolants containing Be or Li), beryllium metal (used for redox control), and carbon (present in abundance for graphite-moderated reactors and of importance to corrosion of metal alloys).
