Tritium permeation is expected to be a major challenge in many locations in the fuel cycle of future fusion reactors. Countless permeation experiments have been performed trying to address this issue, each with their own characteristics including experimental conditions created, materials used, and detection methods employed. This paper reports the…

The tritium inventory of future fusion power plants needs to be monitored in the fuel cycle for several reasons; to comply with limits imposed by environment and safety regulators, adhere to practises required by nuclear regulators and for process control purposes. Fulfilling all these requirements leads to a comprehensive list of locations in the …

In the Pre-Concept Design Phase of EU DEMO, the work package TFV (Tritium – Matter Injection – Vacuum) has developed a smart and tritium self-sufficient three-loop fuel cycle architecture. Driven by the need to reduce the tritium inventory in the systems to an absolute minimum, this requires the continual recirculation of gases in loops without…

The ITER Tokamak Exhaust Processing (TEP) system relies on palladium membrane reactors (PMRs) for tritium recovery. The PMR consists of a palladium/silver membrane permeator filled with a catalyst, that can be used to recover hydrogen species (most importantly tritium) from methane and water impurities present in fusion reactor exhaust emissions…
