A Tritium fuel cycle must have the capability to import tritium inventory from transport storage containers to enable initial inventory stockpiling and future refresh of the inventory. The Joint European Torus (JET) Active Gas Handling System (AGHS) previously imported tritium inventory from Amersham Uranium beds (U-beds) via a decanting system hou…

The Exhaust Detritiation System (EDS) of the JET Active Gas Handling System (AGHS) removes tritium from exhaust gases and contaminated air prior to discharge to stack. The system was replaced prior to JET’s tritium experimental campaign due to corrosion damage. In this paper, the following topics are presented: System function and de…

The aim of the Exhaust Detritiation System (EDS) of the JET Active Gas Handling System (AGHS) is to convert all Q-based species (Q2, Q-hydrocarbons) into Q2O (Q being indifferently H, D or T) which is then trapped on molecular sieve beds (MSB). Regenerating the saturated MSBs leads to the production of tritiated water which is stored in Briggs drum…
