Fusion power stations using the deuterium-tritium reaction will have substantial inventories of tritium in the oxide, molecular, and solid (metal hydride) forms. A new Canadian fusion engineering project based on Canada deuterium uranium (CANDU) operating experience with deuterium and tritium and plans to extract and concentrate tritium from Ontario Hydro's reactors is described. The aims of this project are to contribute to the international fusion effort by extracting useful existing information and translating that experience for application to fusion, and acting as a technology development agency by funding further research and development in project mandate areas.
