The Accelerator Production of Tritium (APT) concept proposes the production of tritium by means of an accelerator and target system. The Los Alamos APT design incorporates a high-energy, high-current proton accelerator, a tungsten neutron source, a lead neutron multiplier, and a moderating blanket that contains {sup 3}He for the production of tritium. This innovative system makes use of existing spallation neutron source technology, and proven design concepts. Inherent safety and environmental features include low decay heat, the absence of fissile or fertile material, no criticality concerns, no potential for overpower transients, and the fact that no high level waste is produced.
