Labs 133 and 145 are laboratories used by Hydrogen Technology Section (HTS) for hydrogen related Research and Development (R&D) activities. These activities include making gas mixtures, technology development for hydrogen isotopes separation, hydrogen purification and storage, and for stable nitrogen isotope separation. Activities also included are development of instrumentation for experimental and plant use such as gas chromatography, mass spectrometry, and data acquisition. A variety of gases for calibrating instruments and developing analytical methods will be mixed and used and cryogenics will be used either from dewars or the bulk LN2 system.
