Irradiation study of lithium compound samples for tritium breeding application

  • 1. General Atomic Co., San Diego, CA (USA)

Description

Fifty-four Inconel-600 clad LiAlO2, Li2O, Li4SiO4 and Li7Pb2 samples were prepared and irradiated in the Oak Ridge Reactor at 6000-10000C for a period of about six months to a fast neutron fluence (>0.18 MeV) of 1.1-2.7 x 1025 n/m2. This paper describes the fabrication techniques for these samples and the post-irradiation examination results of the microstructures of these compounds and their compatibility with the cladding material.
