  Abstract: Beryllium oxide (BeO) is proposed to be used as a constituent for lithium titanate (Li2TiO3) based composite material for neutron multiplication and breeding in International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) for its high thermal conductivity, low neutron absorption cross-section and high neutron reflection cross section. In the present investigation, we report the synthesis of single phase BeO-Li2TiO3 composites with BeO to Li2TiO3 (produced through solid state route) in volume ratios of …
