Formation, accumulation and annihilation of radiation-induced defects and radiolysis products in advanced two-phase ceramic tritium breeder pebbles

open access: yes, 2018
Advanced lithium orthosilicate (Li4SiO4) pebbles with additions of lithium metatitanate (Li2TiO3) as a secondary phase are suggested as an alternative candidate for the tritium breeding in future nuclear fusion reactors. In this doctoral thesis, for the first time the formation, accumulation and annihilation of radiation-induced defects (RD) and ...

Elastic response of individual European advanced ceramic breeder pebbles during uniaxial compression

Fusion Engineering and Design, 2020
Abstract Lithium orthosilicate (Li4SiO4, LOS) based advanced ceramic pebbles are currently the reference material in Europe for solid tritium breeder blankets. These breeder pebbles, as the constituent of pebble beds, are not structural members but undergo cyclic thermo-mechanical compression.

Study of lithium germanate additions to advanced ceramic breeder pebbles

Journal of Nuclear Materials, 2019
1. Abstract Worldwide, lithium rich ceramic pebbles are being developed to be used as tritium breeders inside future fusion reactors. Upon irradiation, the pebbles will produce tritium which will be used alongside deuterium to fuel the fusion reaction.

Radiation stability of long-term annealed bi-phasic advanced ceramic breeder pebbles

Fusion Engineering and Design, 2019
Abstract Advanced ceramic breeder pebbles consisting of Li4SiO4 and additions of Li2TiO3 were tested regarding their long-term thermal and to their radiation stability. As-prepared and long-term annealed pebbles were irradiated with accelerated electrons (up to 6 MGy) to investigate the formation of radiation-induced defects and radiolysis products ...

Effective thermal conductivity of advanced ceramic breeder pebble beds

Fusion Engineering and Design, 2017
Abstract As the knowledge of the effective thermal conductivity of ceramic breeder pebble beds under fusion relevant conditions is essential for the development of solid breeder blanket concepts, the EU advanced and reference lithium orthosilicate material were investigated with a newly developed experimental setup based on the transient hot wire ...
