“…The peak fusion power generated during each pulse was 2 MW [727]. atoms, in excellent agreement with the value from the GCS [740]. By the end of operations, three months later (which included an accidental venting to air when 4x10 18 atoms were released), the retained inventory was reduced to (1.0 ± 1.4)x10 20 .…”

“…The T beams corresponded to 13% of the total beam fuelling, as the remaining 14 sources operated in D, and were on for 3.5 s during a 25 s discharge. The T was injected into a plasma fuelled with D, and although the T concentration in the plasma reached ≈10%, the proportion of the total T gas input for each pulse was only 1.3% [740]. The peak fusion power generated during each pulse was 2 MW [727].…”

“…JET is the largest operating tokamak in the world, and holds the records for fusion power parameters such as attained Q values and neutron production [1]. Since 1989 JET has used beryllium (Be) as a first wall component, and first used tritium (T) fuelling in 1991 [2]. Because of the potential hazard to health from these materials, JET has developed sophisticated remote handling techniques for use in the vessel to minimize exposure to operatives.…”

Radioactivity / Tritium / Thermonuclear fusion / Muon catalyzed fusion / Fusion neutrons SummaryNuclear fusion is expected to give an ultimate solution to energy problems over the long term. From recent progress in developing technology for fusion reactors, we can anticipate a prototype fusion reactor by 2030. This review article describes the present status of nuclear fusion research, including muon catalyzed fusion (μΟΡ) which attracts quite new physical interest. Tritium is an essential component of fusion reactors, because the first-stage fusion reactors will utilize a mixture of deuterium and tritium as their fuel. The knowledge about tritium as well as the fusionneutron induced radioactivity is summarized in terms of nuclear fusion research.
