That's right. Glasoe and Lebaqcz have a good chapter on this aspect in
"Pulse generators" (MIT - I'm sure you know the book).  They discuss using
various quenching gases as well as discussions regarding different Elkonite
grades, copper electrodes etc.

In fact, I recommend people to read the chapter - it covers a variety of RSG
arrangements and helps identify the preferred design approaches in terms of
what average powers can be processed.
