Accumulation of 3He can result in a change of hydrogen isotope interactions with metal due to appearance of additional structural defects. The work is devoted to comparative study of hydrogen interactions with pure Ni and Ni containing radiogenic helium. “Tritium trick” technique was used for a build-up of radiogenic helium inside Ni samples.
