β¦ Synopsis
Tritium diffusion coefficients and deuterium solubilities have been measured for laminar pyrolytic carbon in the temperature range !90@-1500Β°C. The tritium diffusion coefficients were much lower than those for metals at equivalent temperatures, but the activation energy for the diffusion was much higher (-100 kcal/mole). Tritium diffusion coefficients measured for silicon-doped pyrolytic carbon were over an order of magnitude higher than the values for the undoped laminar pyrolytic carbon. The solubility of deuterium in laminar pyrolytic carbon was found to decrease with increasing temperature and exhibited a pressure dependence of pi'*. l.l.NTRODtJCTlON

Using U 232 as a tracer, self diffusion coefficients have been obtained as a function of temperature in three varieties of graphite. Measurements were made in the (c) and (a) directions in pyrographite, in 2.T.A.f (p=2.12) and a porous graphite (p== 1X1)1. The determinations spanned at least 400Β°C i
