Study of Tritium Production and Interactions in LiD
Abstract
This study focuses on a fuel cell composed of Lithium Deuteride (LiD) in a spherical geometry, in which isotropic monoenergetic neutrons of 0.025 eV (thermal neutrons) are generated at the center. The objective is to investigate the production of Tritium via interactions with Lithium-6. The physics of the process has been modeled and analyzed for thirteen different concentrations of Lithium-6 to determine the most advantageous option among them. Monte Carlo simulations were performed using the GEANT4 toolkit to analyze neutron interactions and tritium production efficiency as a function of Lithium-6 concentration.
