Abstract

The irradiation experiments EXOTIC-1 and 2 fit in the European Fusion Technology Programme and are carried out as a joint project by SNL Springfields, SCK/CEN Mol and ECN Petten in collaboration with JRC Petten. The SCK/CEN contribution to these experiments consists in five vented capsules containing lithium metasilicate pellets with varying stoichiometry, density, grain size, pore size and ⁶Li content. The irradiations lasted respectively 25 FPD and 50 FPD. This paper compares the characteristics of the as-fabricated and irradiated pellets and discusses the structural changes which occurred during irradiation. Results on retained tritium are also given.
