Title: Tritium permeability and pressure dependence of 304L stainless steel in the temperature range 723 to 1023 K

Abstract

Knowledge of tritium permeability is important to the development of the nuclear fission and the thermonuclear reactor systems. Numerous investigations concerning permeability and diffusivity of hydrogen isotopes for various metals and alloys have been reported. In recent papers, it has been reported that oxide layers formed on the surfaces of alloys markedly affected the permeation of tritium, and also that both the permeability constant and the activation energy for tritium permeation were different for nonoxidized austenitic steels and ferritic steels. Tritium permeation through 304L stainless steel, which has one of the lowest nickel and carbon contents of the austenitic steels, had not been measured and was the subject of the present study.
