Boiling points of liquid breeders for fusion blankets

Boiling points of liquid breeders for fusion blankets, 2013
The liquid metals lithium (Li), lead–lithium alloy (Pb–Li), and tin–lithium alloy (Sn–Li) are candidates to be the liquid breeders in fusion blanket systems. Some important properties of these liquid breeders, such as thermodynamics properties, neutronic properties and compatibility with structural materials, have been studied.
