[en] Radiation fields created by the production of ⁷Be in lithium of the Fusion Materials Irradiation Test (FMIT) Facility can be sufficiently high to prevent contact maintenance of system components. Preliminary experiments have shown that ⁷Be will adhere strongly to the FMIT piping and components and a good control method for ⁷Be must be developed. The initial experiments have been conducted in static stainless steel capsules and a Modified Thermal Convection Loop (MTCL). The average lithium film thickness on stainless steel was found to be 11 μm in the temperature range 495⁰ to 571⁰K from the capsule experiments. The diffusion coefficient for ⁷Be in stainless steel at 543⁰K was calculated to be 5.31 x 10^-15 cm²/sec. The cold leg of the MTCL picked up much of the ⁷Be activity released into the loop. The diffusion trap, located in the cold leg of the MTCL, was ineffective in removing ⁷Be from lithium, at the very slow flow rates (< 3.79 x 10^-4 m³/s) used in the MTCL. Pure iron has been shown to be superior to coblat and nickel as a getter material for ⁷Be
