This report describes the hydrogen content measurements of yttrium samples as irradiated at Advanced Test Reactor as part of the Microreactor Program. Irradiated samples were prepared at the facilities of Analytical Research Laboratory (ARL) of Materials and Fuels Complex (MFC). Hydrogen content measurements were performed on reduced size specimens using an inert gas fusion analyzer. From a single specimen, replicate samples were prepared and tested. Uncertainty analyses were conducted using two approaches to determine the hydrogen content variations in the samples. The hydrogen content of irradiated specimens was both lower and higher than the expected values, indicating stoichiometry variations. Hydrogen was detected in all samples, including the cracked capsule's specimens. Results also suggested the potential presence of hydrogen redistribution between samples inside the capsules.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
