“…The major advantage of in situ irradiation experiments is its capability to provide such information with respect to neutron flux over a large volume prior to availability of a fusion reactor. Up to now, in situ irradiation tests such as CRITIC-III (Canada) [1], BEATRIX-II (US/ Japan/Canada) [2][3][4], EXOTIC (Netherlands/EU) [5][6][7] and others were conducted.…”

“…The major advantage of in-situ irradiation experiments is the capability to provide a neutron flux over a large volume prior to the availability of a fusion reactor. As the recent insitu irradiation tests, CRITIC-III (Canada), 6) BEATRIX-II (US/Japan/Canada), [7][8][9] EXOTIC (Netherlands/EU) [10][11][12] and others were conducted. However, these experiments used relatively small amount of specimen for characterization of tritium breeders and the structures of a fusion blanket have not been simulated.…”

Lithium titanate (Li 2 TiO 3 ) is one of the most attractive tritium breeders for breeding blanket in fusion reactor from view points of low tritium inventory, high chemical stability and so on. The data on the performance of a blanket mockup with pebble bed under neutron irradiation is needed for the design of breeding blanket. To obtain such data, two kinds of the blanket in-pile mockups with Li 2 TiO 3 pebble bed were developed and the in-situ tritium recovery experiments were carried out in the Japan Materials Testing Reactor (JMTR). In these studies, effects of various parameters, i.e., irradiation temperature, sweep gas flow rate, etc., on the tritium recovery behavior from Li 2 TiO 3 pebble bed were evaluated. It was found that the tritium recovery (R) to tritium generation (G) ratio (R/G) increased with increasing the temperature of Li 2 TiO 3 pebble bed and was saturated when the temperature of Li 2 TiO 3 pebble bed at the outside edge exceeded 300 • C. Additionally, the sweep gas flow rate in the range of 100 to 900 cm 3 /min affected very little the tritium recovery from Li 2 TiO 3 pebble bed. A good prospect for the design of breeding blankets using Li 2 TiO 3 pebble bed was obtained from these results of in-situ experiments.
