For about 20 years, NUKEM has been dealing with the manufacture and sale of uranium tritide containers, among others, in the field of tritium technology. The knowledge and experience gained thereby were utilized for the construction and fabrication of a storage container with a capacity of 50 kCi tritium. This container, termed UTB-50k (a reference to the German name and its size), is described in detail and its operational data are presented.
