Abstract
Data obtained by the radiotracer method on a specially designed test bench show that a lithium oxide film serves as a trap for beryllium extracted from lithium. No tangible chemisorption of beryllium on the titanium surface is observed. These finding are used to design and fabricate a lithium detector for solar neutrinos. They will also find application in designing power nuclear facilities with liquid-metal heat carriers.
