Abstract
Tritium handling techniques in an experimental fusion power reactor (EPR) are evaluated to determine the requirements of the system and to compare different equipment and techniques for meeting those requirements. Tritium process equipment is needed to (1) evacuate and maintain a vacuum in the plasma vessel and the neutral beam injectors, (2) purify and recycle tritium and deuterium for the plasma fuel cycle, (3) recover tritium from experimental breeding modules, and (4) provide tritium containment and atmospheric cleanup. A development program is outlined to develop and demonstrate the required techniques and equipment and to permit confident design of an EPR for operation by the mid-1980s. (auth)
