The ablation dynamics of LiT pellets are solved self‐consistently over a modest range of parameters using a surface dissociation model. The self‐consistently determined parameters are then used to modify the standard low‐Z pellet penetration codes. Since LiT pellets have certain advantages over carbon [in particular, Li conditioning of the walls and T for refueling a D–T reaction], the penetration of LiT into fusion plasmas is considered.
