Beryllium intermetallic compounds (beryllides) are the most promising material as advanced neutron multipliers in Japan and the EU in the DEMO R&D of the International Fusion Energy Research Centre (IFERC) project as a part of Broader Approach (BA) activities. In this study, granulation yield properties and characterization of Be₁₂V pebbles will be reported.
