Lithium titanate and lithium aluminate, proposed as tritium breeding blanket materials in D–T fusion reactor, were analyzed by nuclear analytical techniques as a part of chemical quality control exercise. Concentrations of Li, Ti and Al were quantified by particle induced gamma-ray emission using 4 MeV proton beam from folded tandem ion accelerator facility. Trace elemental concentrations belonging to long-lived nuclides were determined by instrumental neutron activation analysis using neutron flux from Dhruva research reactor at BARC. The analysis results are useful in designing a shielded facility for tritium release studies of these irradiated breeder materials.
