Tritium breeding ratio in Li, Li-C, Pb-Li, Pb-Li-C, Be-Li, Be-Li-C spheres measured by TLD or Li pellets

  • 1. Tokyo Univ. (Japan)

Description

Several experiments were carried out to measure tritium breeding ratio (TBR) in various lithium spheres combined with lead or beryllium neutron multiplier and optionally graphite reflector. The tritium production rate distributions inside the lithium spheres were measured with Li2CO3 pellets or LiF TLDs. Determination of TBR from TLD measurements was done using the least squares method employing covariance matrixes of nuclear data. The measured values of TBR do not differ much from theoretical ones. In cases of the systems with multiplier and reflector, total TBR in lithium zone significantly exceeds 1.0 level. (author)
