Presentations on Mass Transport Processes in Li/Fe-12Cr-1MoVW Steel,'' A Lower Temperature Lithium Purification Process Incorporating Warm Trapping','' and Kinetic Analysis of Corrosion in Pb-17 at. % Li and Comparison to Pure Lithium'' were given by the traveler at the 1989 European Workshop on Lithium and Lead-Lithium Corrosion and Chemistry in Vienna, Austria. The European effort in lead-lithium appeared to be continuing unabated with a future focus on deposition and surface products reactions that can lead to corrosion control. The temperature gain realized from the use of ferritic/martensitic steels instead of austenitic steels in Pb-17 at. % Li appears to be 25--50{degrees}C. The traveler also visited the European Community's Joint Research Centre at Ispra to discuss Fe-Mn-Cr steels. He presented a seminar on Recent ORNL Results on the Development of Fe-Mn-Cr Steels,'' and toured the liquid metal laboratories. Our developmental Fe-Mn-Cr steels, which are compositionally tailored for shallow land burial, would not qualify as low activation'' materials per European standards. Because of both this and the poor sensitization resistance of these steels, our alloy development strategy for reduced activation materials should be critically reviewed.
