Description

A program to develop metal hydride applications to improve the tritium processing capability at the Savannah River Site was initiated about 10 years ago. A number of applications from tritium storage to purification have been developed and implemented in both new and existing tritium facilities. In the tritium storage and transport area, hydride beds with capacities from a fraction of a gram to several hundred grams have been developed. This paper presents our experiences gained in developing these beds. 10 refs., 4 figs
