Abstract
The critical need for beryllium as a neutron multiplier in fusion blankets provides a driving force to determine beryllium's mechanical performance at high neutron fluences and temperatures. Extrapolation of mechanical performance and lifetimes for beryllium multipliers have been made based on limited high temperature data obtained from EBR-II irradiated beryllium.
