Overview of the tritium system of Ignitor

Among the recent design activities of the Ignitor program, the analysis of the tritium system has been carried out with the aim to describe the main equipments and the operations needed for supplying the deuterium–tritium mixtures and recovering the plasma exhaust.In fact, the tritium system of Ignitor provides for injecting deuterium–tritium mixtures into the vacuum chamber in order to sustain the fusion reaction: furthermore, it generally manages and controls the tritium and the tritiated materials of the machine fuel cycle. Main functions consist of tritium storage and delivery, tritium injection, tritium recovery from plasma exhaust, treatment of the tritiated wastes, detritiation of the contaminated atmospheres, tritium analysis and accountability.In this work an analysis of the designed tritium system of Ignitor is summarized.
