“…Reports showed that the body swelling in part of lithium hydride specimen was up to 25% under gamma ray irradiation. 13 The large swelling resulted in a breakage of lithium hydride, which largely shortened the service life of the lithium hydride. To improve the irradiation stability of lithium hydride, much work focused on the behaviours of irradiated swelling of lithium hydride has been carried out by USA and Russia.…”

“…Hence, the use temperature of lithium hydride is limited to 600-800 K to prevent unacceptable swelling, especially for a high dose region. [13][14] ionising radiation generate F centres and V centres in lithium hydride crystals without obvious swelling when they are cooled to liquid nitrogen temperature during irradiation. However, irradiation swelling of lithium hydride becomes significant at room temperature or above, and the effect of temperature on swelling is not monotonic.…”

Lithium hydride remains theoretically the most efficient neutron shield material, showing immense application prospects. The properties of Lithium hydride neutron shielding material, such as use temperature, mechanical properties, thermal conductivity and irradiation swelling behaviour, were reviewed. Factors that affect the irradiation swelling of Lithium hydride were also discussed in this paper. The development trends of lithium hydride neutron shielding material were proposed.
