Retention of tritium in structural materials of a fusion reactor is a concern for tritium accountancy, maintenance, and decommissioning. Plasma facing materials will be exposed to high temperatures, neutron damage and hydrogen isotopes. The damage caused by these conditions is a large area of exploration for fusion, with many questions still to…
Following the first Deuterium-Tritium Experiment (DTE1) at UKAEA, modifications were investigated to the Joint European Torus’ (JET) gas introduction systems to increase the gas feed capabilities of the JET facility to better support future campaigns. The gas introduction systems comprise the gas introduction and gas distribution system (GI/GD)…
