Abstract

Abstract:

The study status of flowing liquid lithium loop in Sichuan University is introduced mainly, which is based on reviewing study of lithium loops at home and abroad in the paper. The loop is designed to study the interaction of plasma with free flowing liquid lithium surface. The aims are summarized as follows: (1) to obtain the free flowing liquid lithium surface with stability and uniformity; (2) to understand the physical evaporation and sputtering of lithium during plasma irradiation, and the retention of hydrogen, its isotopes and helium; (3) to study the compatibility of structural materials in liquid lithium under the plasma irradiation. The device includes the liquid lithium circulating part and linear high density plasma generator.
