Tritium Production Rate and Tritium Breeding Ratio: A Comparative Study of Li_2O and Lithium Assemblies with Different Concentrations of ~6Li

摘要

In view of the blanket design of a futristic deuterium-tritium fusion reactor, ak time-dependent study of 14-MeV neutrons has been carried out in bare lithium and li_2O blanket assemblies with different concentrations of ~6Li nuclei. For assemblies of different sizes, tiem-dependent total neutron fluxes, a tritium production rate (TPR), and a tritium breeding ratio (TBR) up to 40/100 concentration of ~6Li (natural concentration beign 7.42 at. /100) have been repoted.
