Abstract

The Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor (TFTR) was supplied over 7.5×10⁵ Curies combined through the vacuum vessel and Neutral Beam (NB) tritium gas injectors. TFTR has had two short term outages during DT operations plus the final shutdown after DT operations in which tritium held up in the vessel and NB's has been actively recovered. An ion chamber was used to measure the tritium accumulated in the Gas Holding Tanks (GHT) from the vessel throughout all the active and passive processes. The ion chamber compensation for varying gas mixtures was found to be critical in accurate measurement of this recovery.
