Scientific paper

The potential tritium requirements in the presently formulated development plan were assessed and possible sources for the required tritium were identified. The availability of lithium was surveyed also because the only practical production method for tritium is the neutron irradiation of lithium. The estimates of world-wide resources of lithium available to supply such an industry are reviewed. Additionally, the isotopic separation techniques for lithium-6 enrichment are discussed. The resources and requirements for mercury are included because of its potential use in a lithium isotopic separation technique. The availability of helium-3 and helium-4 is briefly discussed.
