STATUS OF ITER TRITIUM PLANT-DESIGN

This paper describes the design status of the ITER tritium plant. The key processing requirements and basis for process selection are summar ized. Status of the remaining R&D efforts and selection of the process for impurity detritiation are also given. Evaluation studies for prel iminary tritium plant processes;were completed during the ITER Concept ual Design Activities (CDA) phase with an emphasis towards use of exis ting technology and proven industrial applications, where available [1 ]. Design of systems has continued during the Engineering Design Activ ities (EDA) phase. Layout designs are now available of most subsystems .
