What about using a lead pipe with soldered lead discs for cylinder ends for the reactor? The H2 inlet could be 1/8 NPT pipe thread cut into one of the disc ends. Then you get the rad shielding and heat transfer in one structure.
Might have to turn the H2 with an elbow and hang more lead over that end to shield the hole. Could load the powder through the pipe thread hole. Solder the lead reactor cylinder into the side arm of a Cu plumbing elbow so it hangs in the water flow. If this thing is actually working at 60 - 100 C., then solder should hold.

It sure looks like a conventional band heater and totally outside of the water piping. Dennis C
