Future fusion facilities need materials that can provide reliable radiation shielding while also maintaining gas tightness and allowing components to be easily removed for maintenance. This is particularly important for areas where pipes and other components pass through radiation shielding structures. In a study published in Journal of Materials Research and Technology , a team led by Dr. HUO Zhi
