Characteristics of Tritium Release Behavior from Solid Breeder Materials

A tritium release model has been developed by the present authors. The tritium release curves estimated by this tritium model give good agreement with experimental curves for Li₄SiO₄, Li₂TiO₃, Li₂ZrO₃ or LiAlO₂ under various purge gas conditions in our out-of-pile bred tritium release.

The characteristics of tritium release behavior from various solid breeder materials carried out by us and in EXOTIC experiments at Petten are discussed in this study.
