Tritium behaviour in ceramic breeder blankets

Description

Tritium release from the candidate ceramic materials, Li2O, LiA102, Li2SiO3, Li4SiO4 and Li2ZrO3, is being investigated in many blanket programs. Factors that affect tritium release from the ceramic into the helium sweep gas stream include operating temperature, ceramic microstructure, tritium transport and solubility in the solid. A review is presented of the material properties studied and of the irradiation programs and the results are summarized. The ceramic breeder blanket concept is briefly reviewed
