Abstract
Nuclear data needs for fusion reactor design are briefly outlined. A summary is given of the radiochemical methods like precipitation, co-precipitation, liquid-liquid extraction, ion-exchange and high-pressure liquid chromatography which have been applied in the determination of cross-section data for (n, p), (n, n' p), (n, α), (n, n′p), (n, α), (n, n′ α), (n, t) and (n3He) reactions at 14 MeV, especially on potential wall materials and transmuted species. The measured data are discussed briefly. A radiochemical method is described for the experimental determination of space dependent tritium production rate in a lithium model blanket. Tritium was separated from Li by vacuum extraction and was determined quantitatively by gas phase β−-counting. A comparison of the experimental and computational results is given.
