Abstract

TFTR has been using tritium as a fuel gas as part of its Deuterium-Tritium experimental operations with over 600kCi processed through the site and over 4400kCi injected. To ensure site and regulatory safety tritium limits are not exceeded, tritium management is accomplished through a data base system to coordinate experimental needs within these limits. A TFTR Nuclear Materials Custodian (NMC) oversees Tritium Transfer Operations (TTO) using accounts based on specific system physical locations. Methods used to coordinate and track TTOs are described. Details of NMC tritium accounting control are discussed with emphasis on the tight controls required for the very low tritium inventory level permitted for TFTR, and lessons learned from the past 23 months of tritium operations.
