TFTR Tritium Stack and Area Monitoring Systems have been developed to provide the required level of reliability in a cost effective manner consistent with the mission of the Tritium Handling System on TFTR. Personnel protection, environmental responsibility, and tritium containing system integrity have been the considerations in system design. During the Deuterium-Tritium (D-T) experiments on TFTR, tritium will be used for the first time as one of the fuels. All of the tritium bearing systems will have potentially releasable inventories. Although the tritium inventories (total on-site inventory is limited to 50,000 Ci) are low, the consequences of a release may still be significant. For that reason, a thorough TFTR tritium monitoring program has been initiated. 4 refs., 2 figs.
