Further Safety Enchancement of Fusion Reactor -Tritium Safety Handling Technology-

About Tritium Safety Handling Technology

Tritium is an important radioactive material to be handled in fusion reactor as a fuel, though the energy of bela decay itself is relatively weak. Therefore, in order to ensure further safely for workers, public and environment around a fusion reactor, and in order to oblain the public acceplance without any anxicty, the following technologies are necessary to be improved as possible as we can.

  • Tritium confinement, monitoring and detritiation
  • Tritium decontamination and waste processing
  • Tritium measurement, accountancy and inventory evaluation
  • Tritium behavior in materials. plants and environment
