Abstract
AbstractThe Commercial Light Water Reactor ‐ Tritium Extraction Facility is being designed and built as a tritium processing facility at the Savannah River Site (SRS) in South Carolina. When built it will be the only facility processing tritium in the United States. The design of this facility required some equipment to be designed as ‘one of a kind‘. The Systems Engineering (SE) approach was applied to define the functions and requirements necessary to design and operate the facility. The SE approach for the Tritium Extraction Facility (TEF) was a major effort encompassing Requirements Analysis, Risk Management, Interface Control, and supporting plans and documentation for the facility and 23 major systems. This paper will describe the SE approach in general and give examples of selected Functions and Requirements (F&Rs) supporting the TEF design. Also presented will be advantages of using the SE approach on the design of the TEF and observations made during the design process.
