We report on hydrogen-deuterium-exchange experiments on NaH probed by thermogravimetry. From the measurements a diffusion parameter of deuterium in NaH of D=1.1x10(-17) m(2)/s at 523 K is derived. The activation energy of tracer diffusion of D in NaH is found to be 1.0 eV. The results are hints for a diffusion process mediated by neutral hydrogen vacancies.
