In situ tritium recovery from Li sub 2 O irradiated in fast neutron flux: BEATRIX-II effect of gas composition
- Pacific Northwest Lab., Richland, WA (United States)
- Japan Atomic Energy Research Inst., Tokai, Ibaraki (Japan)
The BEATRIX-II irradiation experiment is an in-situ tritium recovery experiment to evaluate the tritium release characteristics of Li{sub 2}O and to characterize its stability under fast neutron irradiation to extended burnups. This is an IEA sponsored experiment which is being carried out in the Materials Open Test Assembly of FFTF. The participants are Japan, Canada and the US. The in-situ tritium recovery experiment includes two specimens: a thin annular specimen capable of temperature changes and a larger temperature-gradient specimen. Two other papers have been presented this week at ICFRM-5 which dealt with the results to date. At this workshop I will discuss the effects of gas composition changes that have been observed in BEATRIX-II, Phase 1 and the implications that these observations have on the operation of ion chambers.
