Description of capability
People have been looking at beryllium rods to prevent corrosion in contact with FLiBe, but the Be can’t diffuse all the way so crevices will still appear.
Mike Short’s group is working on intentional additions of Fe or Si to prevent crack propagation. Tune the concentration such that it only happens reducing.
