Workshop "Investigation of changes of physico-chemical properties of fusion reactor functional materials under influence of high-energy radiation"

The seminar will be held on Wednesday, June 17 at Institute of Chemical Physics of University of Latvia, Kronvalda blvd. 4, room 231. The seminar starts at 9:15. This project of the Baltic-German University Liaison Office is supported by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) with funds from the Foreign Office of the Federal Republic Germany. The researcher of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) Oliver Ley will cover the topic of various fusion device blanket zone modules including the tritium breeding module developed by European Union and that will be tested in International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER). Results of research on tritium breeding lithium containing ceramics synthesized by Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) will be discussed. Researcher of Institute of Chemical physics Arturs Zarins will inform on investigation of physical and chemical property changes and radiation stability of modified lithium silicate ceramics that were irradiated under different conditions in electron accelerator ELU-4. Oliver Ley will also speak about latest tendencies in lithium containing ceramics synthesis.
