Modified lithium orthosilicate (Li 4 SiO 4 ) pebbles with additions of titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) are designed as a possible tritium breeder ceramic for the helium cooled pebble bed (HCPB) test blanket module. Additions of TiO 2 were chosen to enhance mechanical properties of the tritium breeder pebbles. The formation of radiation defects (RD) in the modified Li 4 SiO 4 pebbles with a different content of TiO 2 was studied by X-ray induced luminescence (XRL) technique. After XRL measurements the accumulated RD were also analyzed by thermally stimulated luminescence (TSL) and electron spin resonance (ESR) spectrometry. XRL spectra consist of several bands with maxima at around 430, 490, 690, 700 and 800 nm. The XRL band with a peak at 490 nm could be associated with intrinsic defects in Li 4 SiO 4 matrix whereas all the other maxima at lower photon energies are the result of the addition of TiO 2 .

“…To enhance the mechanical properties, presently lithium orthosilicate pebbles with lithium metatitanate (m-LiTi) as a second phase are fabricated by a modified melt-based process [2,3]. It could be demonstrated that the crush load of the pebbles is indeed increased with increasing m-LiTi content, and it was observed, that also the close porosity is increased [3,4].…”

“…Recently, a modified method which employs direct dropping Li 4 SiO 4 from melting crucible via a nozzle is being developed aiming at a higher production yield and a lower porosity [22]. Effects of the process parameters such as drop height, cooling media and pressure on the production of advanced pebbles are under investigation.…”
