S>The theory of gas permeation through porous materials is reviewed in brief. Experimental data are presented on the permeation of He and the fission product noble gases as a function of pressure, temperature, and time of annealing through various graphite materials of interest for use to contain or hold back volatile fission products in gas-cooled reactors.
