Abstract

AbstractRelease of tritium from LiF is well described by volume diffusion kinetics below 500 °C and an activation energy of 51 kcal/mole. The tritium is introduced into the LiF by the Li6(n, α)H3 reaction. Tritium release from massive LiF is complex; important factors include temperature history, initial tritium concentration (neutron exposure) and trapping of tritium in the LiF structure.
