Abstract
Abstract Lithium hydride is a crystalline material that is a relatively stable compound. Uses include neutron shielding or moderating because of a high hydrogen density and the employment of the 6Li isotope. Fabrication by powder techniques can supply compacts of near theoretical density. The material is chemically reactive and must be protected from atmospheric moisture.
