Description

The tritium release from Li2O single crystals due to a recoil process during neutron irradiation was investigated. The linear relationship between the number of tritium atoms ejected from Li2O and the 6Li(n,α)3H reaction density was observed up to about 1 x 1024 reactions/m3 and the linearity was deviated above this reaction density. From this linear relationship, the recoil range of 2.7 MeV tritons in Li2O single crystals was determined and discussed in terms of the calculated value. (orig.)
