Strategic Objectives
• Master the synthesis of high-performance lithium orthosilicate and metasilicate.
• Understand the thermal stability required to withstand intense fusion heat.
• Explore the mechanisms of oxygen exchange and tritium release.
• Evaluate the long-term chemical durability of ceramic breeder pebbles.
The Core Challenge
Nuclear fusion demands a steady supply of tritium, yet this fuel is scarce, requiring advanced solid-state materials to breed it within the reactor's harsh environment.
