A feasibility study of a High Temperature Gas-cooled Reactor (HTGR) for tritium production using Li(n,)T reaction for fusion reactors has been conducted. In this study, the burn-up chain was modified to treat Li(n,)T reaction directory in neutronics calculations, and then the feasibility study was performed from the view point of nuclear and thermal characteristics using SRAC code system, which has experience in neutronics analysis of HTGRs.
