Abstract

To reduce hydrogen loss in hydride moderators for next generation reactors, a hydrogen permeation barrier must be coated on the TZM cladding. To test the effectiveness of the barrier, a custom-built permeation system was built. Hydrogen permeabilities were measured using the differential pressure method where the upstream volume maintains a test pressure while the downstream pressure can either be measured directly with a pressure transducer. An uncoated TZM substrate was tested and confirmed to survive test conditions.
