Description

Lithium titanate (Li2TiO3) has been investigated as an alternate ceramic blanket material to Li2ZrO3. Relatively high density 1.2 mm spheres have been produced using an extrusion/tumbling method. High-strength spheres were obtained as determined by testing following thermal cycling. Tritium release was investigated in post-irradiation anneals. The effects of heating rate, sweep-gas composition and material characteristics were investigated. The results indicate good tritium release characteristics for this material, similar to Li2ZrO3.
