A controlled thermonuclear reactor blanket model containing pure lithium metal was expanded by a graphite layer of 15-cm radial thickness. A clear increase of the tritium production due to this graphite reflector could be observed. Measurements of the space-dependent tritium production were carried out and compared with theoretical calculations.
