Measurement of Hydrogen Diffusion in Zirconium Alloys by the Radioluminography Method

A method for obtaining the quasi-one-dimensional distribution of tritium in zirconium alloys was developed. Various conditions of saturation of samples with tritium were analyzed and distributions of tritium concentration corresponding to the saturation conditions were measured. An algorithm for restoring of the diffusion coefficient of hydrogen in zirconium alloys by the radioluminography method was developed. The temperature dependence of the hydrogen diffusion in E110 alloy was constructed.
