In October 1986 an experimental release of 256 TBq of tritium was performed in FRANCE; this experiment formed part of general studies agreed by the European Communities concerning the safety of future fusion reactors. The main objectives related to the analysis of HT HTO conversion in air and soil and the assessment of models. The organization and execution of the experiment was under the responsibility of the French Commissariat for Atomic Energy (CEA). The major experimental parameters such as site, weather conditions, activity are presented as well as the administrative aspects and appropriate logistics.
