An important aspect of the design and analysis of ceramic breeder blankets is the ability to predict the phenomenological behavior of tritium in the ceramic breeder under operating reactor conditions. By understanding the behavior of tritium in such materials, analysis and accurate predictions can be made regarding the blanket tritium release and inventory which are key design issues based on safety and fuel self-sufficiency considerations. This paper highlights the progress in tritium modeling over the last decade. Key tritium transport mechanisms are briefly described along with the more recent and sophisticated models developed to help understand them. Recent experimental data are highlighted and model calibration and validation discussed. Finally, example applications to blanket cases are shown as illustration of current predictions for ceramic breeder blanket tritium inventory.
