Tritium production-rate (TPR) distributions were measured in a Li/sub 2/O slab assembly using the FNS. The size of assembly was 31.5 cm in equivalent radius and 61.0 cm in thickness. Enriched /sup 6/Li and /sup 7/Li sintered pellets of Li/sub 2/O were adopted to measure the TPRs of /sup 6/Li and /sup 7/Li, separately. After irradiated pellets were treated chemically, tritium produced in the pellets was measured by a liquid scintillation counting system. Measured TPR distributions have been analyzed by using the three transport codes, DOT3.5, MORSE-DD and BERMUDA-2DN with ENDF/B-4 and JENDL-3PR1 nuclear data files. The JENDL-3PR1 improves the accuracy of calculated TPR very well for both /sup 6/Li and /sup 7/Li.
