Schluderberg, D C

The purpose of this task is to establish process parameters for the fabrication of lithium oxide (Li/sub 2/O) microspheres having properties which as closely as possible approximate those required for the design characteristics of the University of Wisconsin design for a TOKAMAK-type fusion reactor utilizing the moving bed of Li/sub 2/O microspheres as both reactor coolant and tritium breeder.
