OSTI ID:5981791
The tritium facility at KMS Fusion, Inc. is used to support our Inertial Confinement Fusion research program. It is capable of filling glass or polymer shells to a maximum pressure of 100 atm with tritium (T/sub 2/) or deuterium-tritium (DT) by permeation through the shell walls. In our system T/sub 2/ or DT is stored on, dispersed from, and retrieved by uranium beds. The required high pressure (approx. 200 atm) is achieved by cryogenic boosting. The apparatus and procedures used in this process are described including provisions for tritium containment and monitoring. An estimate of equipment costs is also included.
