Abstract

This article will provide an introduction to the importance of integrated computational analysis to better understand high temperature hydrogen attack (HTHA) and a review of the diverse experimental research that has been presented over the years. To form methane inside of a void, a minimum distance between iron (Fe), carbon (C), and hydrogen (H) must exist.
