Description
Lithium oxide as a fusion blanket material has neutronic advantages but various design limitations. The study was undertaken to investigate the design implications, to demonstrate how the limitations can be overcome and to provide guidance for future development. The study included lithium oxide properties, tritium control, coolant chemistry, blanket engineering and blanket neutronics. (author)
