Abstract
Several methods for tritium recovery from liquid
lithium, Li-Pb eutectic alloy, aqueous salt solution or fluoride salt (Flibe)
of the breeding materials of a fusion reactor were comparatively investigated
based on engineering designs. The methods of a permeation window, an yttrium
particle bed and molten salt extraction were promising for liquid lithium.
The methods of a permeation window, counter-current extraction in a packed
bed and cold trapping in a Na or NaK loop were hopeful for tritium recovery
from Li17 Pb83 eutectic. The methods of helium gas
purging and vacuum extraction were successfully applied to the Flibe blanket.
Although any of the tritium recovery systems resulted in realistic figures
of engineering design, extensive research based on materialistic and chemical
viewpoints is necessary for resolving impurity effects and various interactions
in the tritium recovery systems.
