Description

Storage of hydrogen isotopes, particularly, tritium and deuterium is an important requirement for fusion reactor technology. A safe and convenient method is required for the storage of tritium as it is a beta emitter. Among different tritium storage systems, ZrNi was found to be one of the suitable candidates. Several authors have studied Zr-Ni and ZrNi-H2 systems both experimentally and theoretically. The lack of important physico-chemical data of the ZrNi-H2 system has inspired this comprehensive study and this will be very much helpful for further experimental investigation
