That might be the ticket...no reason to cease searching. At this point it is necessary for us to understand exactly what caused the explosion event. Does the fuel have hot spots that go into thermal runaway rapidly at some point? Are there other types of fuels that are more uniform in action? Is it possible to adjust the thermal design of the device so that heat is evenly distributed and thus prevent dangerous hot spots from forming?
There are many engineering questions that I would like to see answered before I believe that a best solution to the thermal runaway condition can be determined. I am still pondering why there was apparently no indication of extreme heat generation prior to the event. Perhaps there was but it escaped detection by the instrumentation. So far my thoughts are that the problem was highly localized within a small region of the fuel. I can imagine that a stronger structure might have prevented the condition, at least until some form of indication was obtained. Then I wonder how much the extreme hydrogen pressure contributed to the initial bursting and can that be kept to a manageable level by something such as you suggest. Of course it also makes sense to reduce the amount of fuel to a value that does not end in this manner to determine its activity as a function of temperature per gram. Hot spots might be revealed without having to take cover. :-) How much fun would this be if everything went exactly as planned? This is the way that real engineers demonstrate their strengths. The MFMP team is a capable group and I have confidence that they are up to the task!
