Helium Bubbles in Liquid Lead Lithium Solutions: Pressure Inhomogeneities at Interfaces and Non Ideal Mixture Effects
Edgar Alvarez-Galera, Jordi Marti, Lluis Batet
The extremely low solubility of helium in liquid metals may lead to rapid supersaturation, promoting spontaneous formation of helium bubbles by nucleation. Once nucleated, the stab…

Helium bubbles in liquid lithium: a potential issue for ITER
Edgar Alvarez-Galera, Jordi Marti, Ferran Mazzanti +1
Future fusion nuclear reactors will produce sustainable energy form the fusion of deuterium and tritium. In order to do so, the reactors will need to produce their own tritium thro…
