Description

V-4Cr4-Ti/Liquid Lithium breeder blankets have been considered for a long time in Fusion as an option for tritium breeding. Vanadium base alloys represent potentially promising candidate structural materials for use in nuclear fusion reactors due to vanadium's low activity, high thermal strength, and good swelling resistance. This poster will serve as a literature study, state of play in today's fusion industry, and start presenting UKAEA International positioning or strategy (which is being developed this FY) for exploring Vanadium alloys in Liquid Lithium environments.
