Hydrogen isn't really a fission product, though a little might be produced through proton spallation. (In the Fukushima disaster I think the hydrogen was produced by the chemical reaction of the Zirconium cladding with water.) However what I had in mind was actually a mini-molecule of Li bound to Hydrino Hydride ions, and this mini molecule should pass through the interstitial gaps in any lattice, so I doubt any sort of cladding would hold it for long (unless it carries a net charge). The cladding might just have to be made thick to be somewhat useful. [snip] Regards, Robin van Spaandonk http://rvanspaa.freehostia.com/project.html
