Blanket and Process Engineering / Proceedings of the Second National Topical Meeting on Tritium Technology in Fission, Fusion and Isotopic Applications (Dayton, Ohio, April 30 to May 2, 1985) / dx.doi.org/10.13182/FST85-A24614

A preliminary selection of elements in the DT fuel cycle of the NET device is described. These elements form part of the reference concept intended to identify research and development priorities for the European Fusion Technology program, and provide a framework for the further definition of the NET design. With the exception of the vacuum train, the engineering concepts of process elements described are relatively straightforward. However, the detailed engineering design depends on physical and chemical properties of tritium and its compounds that are not always available.
