Irradiation Study of Lithium Compound Samples for Tritium-Breeding Application

摘要

Fifty-four Inconel-600 clad LiAlO sub 2 , Li sub 2 O, Li sub 4 SiO sub 4 and Li sub 7 Pb sub 2 samples were prepared and irradiated in the Oak Ridge Reactor at 600 exp 0 to 1000 exp 0 C for a period of about six months to a fast neutron fluence ( > 0.18 MeV) of 1.1 to 2.7 x 10 exp 25 n/m exp 2 . This paper describes the fabrication techniques for these samples and the post-irradiation examination results of the microstructures of these compounds and their compatibility with the cladding material.
