Steady state hydrogen transport in solids exposed to fusion reactor plasmas, part II: Applications of theory

Abstract The previously developed steady state analytical theory of plasma-driven H transport through wall membranes is applied to several materials of interest to controlled fusion. The theory is used to predict H isotope inventory, recycle time and permeation rate under nonisothermal conditions and includes the effects of H traps. The materials included in this study were 304 stainless steel, INCONEL, α-Fe, Al, Mo, Cu, W, Ni, Ti, V, Ta, Zr, Be, C, B, and Si.
