As part of the Department of Energy (DOE) Accelerator Production of Tritium (APT) project, Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) is developing an accelerator system to produce tritium. The system`s target/blanket design draws from spallation neutron source technology. Neutrons are produced in tungsten and lead, then captured in helium-3 ({sup 3}He) to produce tritium. The tritium is continuously removed for immediate delivery. The replaceable module design includes a window, tungsten neutron source, lead blanket, and heavy-water reflector modules. The design meets tritium production goals, maintains a high degree of safety, and provides for highly reliable operation.
