Fusion Materials—Properties and Behavior / Proceedings of the Seveth Topical Meeting on the Technology of Fusion Energy (Reno, Nevada, June 15–19, 1986) / dx.doi.org/10.13182/FST86-A24863

The LiF·BeF2 system is a potential tritium breeder for a fusion power reactor. The chemical consequences of the TF(HF) generation are examined, particularly reactions proposed for moderating the corrosive properties of TF(HF).
