Abstract

Scanning Electron Microscopy examinations of fast-neutron irradiated Li//2O at 608-625 degree C to 1 and 3 at% **6Li burnups have been performed. Of particular interests are the helium morphologies and their relationships to the reported tritium/helium retentions and swelling in Li//2O. Possible defect trapping of tritium is suggested, along with discussions of two other phenomena (microtracking, swelling) on the performance of an Li//2 fusion reactor blanket.
