The objective of this work is to irradiate lithium ceramics in a fast neutron environment to high burnup levels and with large temperature gradients. The first insertion of two subassemblies completed its irradiation in December 1986. This irradiation exposed Li/sub 2/O and LiAlO and LiA102 to not only high temperatures but also large temperature gradients which are expected in fusion blankets. In addition, it included other materials such as Li/sub 2/ZrO/sub 3/, Li/sub 8/ZrO/sub 6/, Li/sub 4/SiO/sub 4/, and LiAlO/sub 2/ (spheres and large grain size) some of which will go to high burnups.
