Materials considerations for the coupling of thermochemical hydrogen cycles to tandem mirror reactors

Conference · Fri May 23 00:00:00 EDT 1980

OSTI ID:5387990

Krikorian, O H

Candidate materials are discussed and initial choices made for the critical elements in a liquid Li-Na Cauldron Tandem Mirror blanket and the General Atomic Sulfur-Iodine Cycle for thermochemical hydrogen production. V and Ti alloys provide low neutron activation, good radiation damage resistance, and good chemical compatibility for the Cauldron design. Aluminide coated In-800H and siliconized SiC are materials choices for heat exchanger components in the thermochemical cycle interface.
