Investigation of hydrogen and deuterium impact on the release of tritium from two-phase lithium ceramics under reactor irradiation

In the development of fusion energy, an important task is the study and improvement of tritium production technologies. In this case, one of the most promising materials for tritium generation is lithium ceramics. Considering the importance of the task, numerous studies are aimed at solving the problem of determining the parameters and mechanisms of tritium release in lithium-containing materials. This paper presents the results of a study of tritium release processes from two-phase lithium ceramics of Li$_{4}$SiO$_{4}$/Li$_{2}$TiO$_{3}$ during reactor irradiation when hydrogen and deuterium are injected into the chamber with irradiated samples. The mechanisms regularities of the tritium yi…
