Managing Critical Isotopes : Select Assessments of Issues with Nuclear Applications, Paperback / softback Book

Managing Critical Isotopes : Select Assessments of Issues with Nuclear Applications Paperback / softback

Edited by Aubrey Lindell

Paperback / softback

Description

Little is known about lithium-7 production in China and Russia and whether their supplies can meet future domestic demand.

According to industry representatives, China and Russia produce enough lithium-7 to meet demand from U.S. pressurised water reactors, a type of commercial nuclear power reactor that requires lithium-7 for safe operation.

This book examines what is known about the supply and demand of lithium-7, what federal agencies are responsible for managing supply risks, and alternative options to mitigate a potential shortage.

The authors of this book also discuss the management of helium-3 and the availability of tritium for the weapons stockpile to the National Nuclear Security Administration.
