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 summarized. Status of the remaining R&D efforts and selection of the process for impurity detritiation are also given. Evaluation studies for preliminary tritium plant processes;were completed during the ITER Conceptual Design Activities (CDA) phase with an emphasis towards use of existing technology and proven industrial applications, where available [1]. Design of systems has continued during the Engineering Design Activities (EDA) phase. Layout designs are now available of most subsystems.
