Fusion reactors require advanced neutron multipliers with high stability at high temperatures. Beryllium intermetallic compounds (beryllides) have a universally robust potential for high temperature use. Fabrication of beryllide pebbles of Be–Zr compositions was conducted from the viewpoint of pebble mass production. Prototypic pebbles were successfully fabricated using the plasma-sintered electrodes with high Be and Zr contents for enhanced of the thermal shock resistivity of the electrodes during granulation by a rotating electrode method. From the results of granulation examinations, it was revealed that granulation yields varied greatly depending on compositions of the plasma-sintered electrodes themselves. By utilizing plasma-sintered electrodes with high Be and Zr contents, Be13Zr pebbles had a high granulation yield of 84%. Moreover, the Be13Zr pebbles displayed better oxidation properties as compared to pure Be pebbles.
