Abstract
At Sandia Livermore, significant operating experience has been gained with the containment and cleanup systems that provide personnel safety and environmental protection in the tritium facility. The Gas Purification System (GPS) and Vacuum Effluent Recovery System (VERS)--used for cleanup of glove box and contaminated effluent, respectively--have been operating for more that 70,000 hours. Maintained at 811 K, the original catalyst has shown no indication of degraded performance. The dryer regeneration system has been used to recover 52,000 Ci, with no personnel uptake. Except for VERS vacuum pump overhaul, maintenance on both systems has been minimal.
