Innovation for advanced fuels at SRNL
As the only Department of Energy Office of Environmental Management–sponsored national lab, Savannah River National Laboratory has a history deeply rooted in environmental stewardship efforts such as nuclear material processing and disposition technologies. SRNL’s demonstrated expertise is now being leveraged to solve nuclear fuel supply -chain obstacles by providing a source of high-assay low-enriched uranium fuel for advanced reactors.

As basic studies for clarifying tritium migration and inventory in the solid blanket of fusion reactor, following experimental works have been performed: (1)Sorption (adsorption and absorption) of water vapor on/in the particle of Li2O and LiAlO2 was studied by the breakthrough method. Effects of water vapor pressure, temperature, particle size and bulk density were investigated. Dissociative adsorption on the surface of grain was considered to occur. (2)Exchange reaction between sorbed tritiated water on the surface of Li2O and H2 gas was studied. HT was found to be produced by exchange reaction.
