Specific heat, thermal diffusivity and thermal conductivity were measured on Li/sub 2/O, Li/sub 4/SiO/sub 4/, Li/sub 2/ZrO/sub 3/ and LiAlO/sub 2/. Data on these properties were needed for design of an irradiation experiment to be performed on these materials. In general, the specific heat of a ceramic is primarily enrichment-dependent, but the thermal diffusivity and thermal expansion coefficient may be influenced by microstructure. Hence, it will be necessary to duplicate these measurements on the engineering materials finally selected for a particular design.
