Popis: The experimental data on sorption and solubility of hydrogen isotopes in graphite in a wide ranges of temperature and pressure are reviewed. The Langmuir type adsorption is proposed for the hydrogen -- graphites interaction with taking into account dangling sp{sup 2}{minus}bonds relaxation. Three kinds of traps are proposed: Carbon interstitial loops with the adsorption enthalpy of {minus}4.4 eV/H{sub 2} (Traps l); carbon network edge atoms with the adsorption enthalpy of {minus}2.3 eV/H{sub 2} (Traps 2): Basal planes adsorption sites with enthalpy of +2.43 eV/H{sub 2} (Traps 3). The sorption capacity of every kind of graphite could be described with its own unique set of traps. The number of potential sites for the ``true solubility`` (Traps 3) we assume as 1E+6 appm, or HC=l, but endothermic character of this solubility leads to negligible amount of inventory in comparison with Traps 1 and Traps 2. The irradiation with neutrons or carbon atoms increases the number of Traps 1 and Traps 2. At damage level of {approximately}1 dpa under room temperature irradiation the number of these traps was increased up to 1500 and 5000 appm respectively. Traps 1 and Traps 2 are stable under high temperature annealing.
