Popis: It follows from the published data on the selection of lithium materials for the breeding zone of a thermonuclear reactor [43–45] that the tritium production involves large-scale radiochemical installations for the conversion of the irradiated material and the extraction of the pure isotope which is present in extreme dilution. When such radiochemical installations are built, a set of basic technological problems must be solved (continuously maintaining the purity of the lithium materials, removing the radiolysis products, stabilization of the physicochemical properties of the material, removing the corrosion products of the materials used for the construction); one must also solve problems related to personnel safety and the protection of the environment from the emission of the radioactive isotope. Problems related to the construction of apparatus for the processes occurring at a high temperature must be solved.
