This paper presents the first results obtained in a facility constructed at the University of California, Los Angeles to study the interaction of ceramic breeder pebble beds with structural materials in conditions relevant to fusion energy power plant blanket operations. The experiments study the thermo-mechanical performance of lithium meta-titanate oxide (Li2TiO3) pebbles and silicon carbide ...

A new multi-tracer technique in the Tracer-Encapsulated Solid Pellet (TESPEL) method has been developed order to acquire simultaneously information about behaviors of various impurities, i.e., study concurrently low- and mid/high-Z impurities magnetically confined high-temperature plasmas. In this technique, an inorganic compound (for example, lithium titanate, Li2TiO3) is proposed be used as a...

The interest in lithium-containing ceramics is due to their huge potential as blanket materials for thermonuclear reactors the accumulation of tritium. However, an important factor use preservation stability strength and structural properties when under influence external factors that determine time frame operation. This paper presents results a study investigated LiTiO2 phase on increasing res...
