Kopsavilkums

Modified lithium orthosilicate (Li₄SiO₄) pebbles with additions of titanium dioxide (TiO₂) are suggested as an alternative tritium breeding ceramic for the European solid breeder test blanket module. The noble metals – platinum (Pt), gold (Au) and rhodium (Rh), can be introduced into the modified Li₄SiO₄ pebbles during the melt-based process, due to the corrosion of Pt-Rh and Pt-Au alloy crucible components. In this study, the surface microstructure, chemical and phase composition of the modified Li₄SiO₄ pebbles with different contents of the noble metals was analysed. The influence of the noble metals on the radiolysis was evaluated after irradiation with accelerated electrons (E = 5 MeV), up to 12 MGy absorbed dose at 300–345 K in a dry argon atmosphere. Using electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy, it was determined that the noble metals (up to 300 ppm) do not significantly influence the formation and accumulation of radiation-induced defects (RD) in the modified Li₄SiO₄ pebbles.
