Abstract:Handling of tritium is one of the most important technological issues for realizing fusion power plants. Since the burning ratio of the presently designed deuterium-tritium (D-T) fusion reactors remains in a couple of percentage level, a large amount of tritium should be recovered from the vacuum vessel and constantly circulated in the reactor system. A big concern is the permeation and retention of tritium within the vacuum vessel and circulation plumbing. Moreover, unless the recovery rate is close to 1, it … Show more
