Lithium, which is used as the neutron source of the International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility (IFMIF), reacts easily with nitrogen, oxygen and humidity in atmosphere. In this study, the R&D results on the lithium safety handling are presented in this study. The contents are (a) lithium fire extinguishing, (b) chemical reaction of lithium at elevated temperature, (c) lithium cleaning for the components and (d) impurity analysis of lithium.

At the replacement of the components such as the target assembly of the International Fusion Irradiation Facility (IFMIF), cleaning of the adhered lithium on the inner surface of the components is required for the long term storage. In this study, we performed the dissolution experiment of lithium compounds in ethanol, and the dependency on temperature and time were clarified.
