Most people just think about Balloons and Not MRIs or checking for Leaks in Chemistry Equipment. It really is an important Element and not easily replaced.

I realize, I'd known of its use in MRI hardware, as well as NMR in chemistry, as well, I think.

The problems becomes one of extraction, especially since modern facilities don't exist, followed closely by the control of/access to the helium resource.

There is a YouTube Video out there with by Professor Martyn Polliakoff discussing Helium and how embarrassing it would be for your grandchildren if an barrel of Radioactive Waste exploded because of the Build Up of Helium Gas from the Break Down of Nuclear Material. Funny, Funny, Funny. Part of a Series from the University of Nottingham on the Periodic Table of Elements.
