Proceedings of the sixth international workshop on ceramic breeder blanket interactions

摘要

This report is the Proceedings of 'the Sixth International Workshop on Ceramic Breeder Blanket Interactions' which was held as a workshop on ceramic breeders under Annex II of IEA Implementing Agreement on a Programme of Research and Development on Fusion Materials, and Japan-US Workshop 97FT4-01. This workshop was held in Mito city, Japan on October 22-24, 1997. About forty experts from EU, Japan, USA, and Chile attended the workshop. The scope of the workshop included the following: (1) fabrication and characterization of ceramic breeders, (2) properties data for ceramic breeders, (3) tritium release characteristics, (4) modeling of tritium behavior, (5) irradiation effects on performance behavior, (6) blanket design and R and D requirements, (7) hydrogen behavior in materials, and (8) blanket system technology and structural materials. In the workshop, information exchange was performed for fabrication technology of ceramic breeder pebbles in EU and Japan, data of various properties of Li(sub 2)TiO(sub 3), tritium release behavior of Li(sub 2)TiO(sub 3) and Li(sub 2)ZrO(sub 3) including tritium diffusion, modeling of tritium release from Li(sub 2)ZrO(sub 3) in ITER condition, helium release behavior from Li(sub 2)O, results of tritium release irradiation tests of Li(sub 4) SiO(sub 4) pebbles in EXOTIC-7, R and D issues for ceramic breeders for ITER and DEMO blankets, etc. The 23 of the papers are indexed individually.
