Book Description
A random network model has been utilized to analyze the problem of tritium percolation through porous Li ceramic breeders. Local transport in each pore channel is described by a set of convection-diffusion-reaction equations. Long range transport is described by a matrix technique. The heterogeneous structure of the porous medium is accounted for via Monte Carlo methods. The model was then applied to an analysis of the relative contribution of diffusion and convective flow to tritium transport in porous lithium ceramics. 15 refs., 4 figs.

Book Description
Tritium retention and release data for lithium ceramics (Li2O, LiAlO2, and Li4SiO4) are available from in-reactor and post-irradiation anneal tests on single crystals, powders, and sintered products. With the exception of the single-crystal tests in which bulk diffusion is the rate-limiting release mechanism, it is very difficult to interpret the results of these tests and extrapolate the results to design conditions for a fusion solid-breeder blanket. Mathematical models are presented for various bulk, grain-boundary, and free-surface phenomena to aid in the interpretation and extrapolation of the data. 24 refs., 6 figs., 4 tabs.

Tritium Percolation Through Porous Ceramic Breeders

Pages : 19
Book Description
Among the major processes leading to tritium transport through Li ceramic breeders the percolation of gaseous tritium species through the connected porosity remains the least amenable to a satisfactory treatment. The combination of diffusion and reaction through the convoluted transport pathways prescribed by the system of pores poses a formidable challenge. The key issue is to make the fundamental connection between the tortuousity of the medium with the transport processes in terms of only basic parameters that are amenable to fundamental understanding and experimental determinations. This fundamental challenge is met within the following approaches. On the microscale the short range transport is modeled via a convection-diffusion-reaction approach. On a macro scale the long range transport is described within a matrix formalism. The convoluted microstructure of the pore system as prescribed from experimental measurements is synthesized into the present approach via Monte Carlo simulation techniques. In this way the approach requires as inputs only physical-chemical parameters that are amenable to clear basic understanding and experimental determination. In this sense it provides predictive capability. Using this approach the concept of residence time has been analyzed in a critical manner. Implication for tritium release experiments was discussed. 14 refs., 5 figs., 1 tab.

Book Description
In an operating fusion reactor, the tritium breeding blanket will reach a condition in which the tritium release rate equals the production rate. The tritium release rate must be fast enough that the tritium inventory in the blanket does not become excessive. Slow tritium release will result in a large tritium inventory, which is unacceptable from both economic and safety viewpoints As a consequence, considerable effort has been devoted to understanding the tritium release mechanism from ceramic breeders and beryllium neutron multipliers through theoretical, laboratory, and in-reactor studies. This information is being applied to the development of models for predicting tritium release for various blanket operating conditions.

Lithium Mass Transport in Ceramic Breeder Materials

Pages : 5
Book Description
The objective of this activity is to measure the lithium vaporization from lithium oxide breeder material under differing temperature and moisture partial pressure conditions. Lithium ceramics are being investigated for use as tritium breeding materials. The lithium is readily converted to tritium after reacting with a neutron. With the addition of 1000 ppM H2 to the He purge gas, the bred tritium is readily recovered from the blanket as HT and HTO above 400°C. Within the solid, tritium may also be found as LiOT which may transport lithium to cooler parts of the blanket. The pressure of LiOT(g), HTO(g), or T2O(g) above Li2O(s) is the same as that for reactions involving hydrogen. In our experiments we were limited to the use of hydrogen. The purpose of this work is to investigate the transport of LiOH(g) from the blanket material. 8 refs., 1 fig., 3 tabs.
