This paper presents the results primary characterization of unirradiated titanium beryllide samples and neutron analysis of irradiation experiments of titanium beryllide Be12Ti samples in the WWR-K reactor. The XRD analysis of the samples was carried out. The surface morphology of the samples was studied using optical and electron microscopy. Two options of the irradiation capsule design are considered. The first design is designed for low-temperature irradiation, and the second design is for high-temperature irradiation. The effect of the capsule design on the neutron irradiation conditions of titanium beryllide samples is shown. The dynamics of tritium, helium-4 and helium-3 generation in samples is given. The values of the specific energy release of samples and structural materials of the capsule are calculated. The rate of displacements per atom in the irradiated material is estimated.
