The Tritium Systems Test Assembly (TSTA) is a Los Alamos National Laboratory facility being constructed for the purpose of developing, demonstrating, and interfacing technologies required in the deuterium-tritium fuel cycle of future fusion reactor systems. The control of the facility is performed by the Master Data Acquisition and Control System (MDAC). The MDAC employs eight computers in a multi-redundant configuration ensuring both the safe and reliable operation of the facility and a high degree of system availability. To accomplish this task, MDAC is separated into two isolated branches, one designated as the process branch and the other as the safety branch.
