As a metal hydride, calcium hydride (CaH2) is a potential moderator material in new reactor designs, including a small modular microreactors. CaH2 was evaluated using ab initio lattice dynamics (AILD) methods using the VASP and PHONON codes with the thermal scattering law (TSL) calculated using FLASSH 1.0.
