  15. THTR Circular No. 91 July 04

    about the HTR line: "The possibility of military use of an HTR module was touched upon. If lithium is added to the graphite of the fuel elements in excess of the unavoidable proportion, then a targeted extraction of tritium, a sought-after atomic bomb material, can be achieved. The Soviet scientists' argument was heavily influenced by...

    The HTR has a clear, militarily usable special feature: it can be used as an effective tritium producer. By using a suitable fuel composition (e.g. by adding lithium), the production of tritium can be controlled for use in atomic bombs and can become militarily interesting for technically advanced nuclear weapon states. An American...
