In one of two options being considered for a new source of tritium, the US Department of Energy (DOE) is planning an Accelerator Production of Tritium (APT) plant that would be built at its Savannah River Site in South Carolina. The project Conceptual Design Report was issued in April, 1997, and formal design of the plant technical and conventional systems has now begun. A program of engineering development and demonstration (ED and D) has been underway since 1995 to support the plant design and subsequent construction; the accelerator portion of this program is summarized.
