The ITER tritium systems

TL;DR: ITER is the first fusion machine fully designed for operation with equimolar deuterium-tritium mixtures as mentioned in this paper, and it is equipped with a neutral beam heating system.
Book ChapterDOI

Synthesis, characterization, and applications of palladium membranes

TL;DR: This chapter discusses the synthesis, characterization, and applications of palladium membranes, which are able to act as a selective barrier, which separates different species either by sieving or by controlling their relative rate of transport through itself.

Tritium tests with a technical PERMCAT for final clean-up of ITER exhaust gases

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the required overall ITER decontamination factor can be reached with a technical PERMCAT as the final clean-up step of the CAPER process.
Journal ArticleDOI

Overview of R&D at TLK for process and analytical issues on tritium management in breeder blankets of ITER and DEMO

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on the recent R&D carried out at the Tritium Laboratory Karlsruhe to tackle the issues of safe, reliable, and efficient tritium management in the breeder blanket.
