I had the idea that the hydrogen might be able to leak out, which is why I did add the phrase "or any number of other gases". One of the many things I like about nuclear thermal rockets is that it can use pretty much any type of gas as propellant. Simply heat and expel.

BTW, The other info was very useful.

      - Compressibility of the gas matters - R.L. - 1/3/2006 10:29:51 AM
