Well documented in the 1930's. When using it as a torch it is localized near contact with the metals to be welded, cm's from the arc. When used inside a uniformly heated reactor vessel i would think it would happen further from the arc, wherever the atomic hydrogen comes near a surface/atomic structure hungry for some energy...
