Tritium breeding materials data base for fusion reactor blankets (4). (Li2O, Li2TiO3, Li2ZrO3 and Li4SiO4 solid breeding materials)

This up-to-date compilation of data for ceramic breeding materials (Li2O, Li2TiO3, Li2ZrO3, and Li4SiO4) is part of a study to construct a database for tritium breeding materials of fusion reactor blankets in which existing data for breeding materials and neutron multipliers have been collected from as many sources as possible. The data compiled include data on physical and thermal properties, mechanical properties, chemical stability and compatibility, tritium solubility and transport, irradiation effects, afterheat characteristics, thermal cycling effects, waste disposal, and other miscellaneous properties of ceramic breeding materials, such as Li2O, Li2TiO3, Li2ZrO3, and Li4SiO4. As a result of this compilation, the status of existing data can be recognized. (author)
