Pellet fueling of helium-3 enclosed in Li and Be shells

The proposed design of a fuel pellet containing liquid ³He enclosed in a spherical Be shell of 300 μm thickness and overcoated with D₂ solid is described. The pellet appears to be adequate for fueling large-size d/³He tokamaks. Smaller pellets of this design could be used for near-term experiments. The pellet fabrication should be simple and the components are nonradioactive
