O nuclear reactors and on the core nuclear bombs, the alpha decays makes the material brittle. This might be part of the explanation of why cracks are related to the efficiency of the material. Given the randomness, it could be that the way cracks coalesce might end up making a reaction going to the point of melting the whole thing or nothing happening. So, mixturing with other material that drives the "percolation of cracks" may the way to improve the fusion activity.
