A series of integral neutronics experiments is in progress as a collaborative program between Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute (JAERI) and U.S. Department of Energy(DOE) on fusion blanket engineering. Three types of experiments were conducted on lithium oxide as the Phase I of the program. Measured parameters are tritium production rates and neutron spectrum in test blanket modules. The results obtained in the collaboration are described along with the features of this program.
