At the Physics Department of the Technical University Munich a compact cyclotron is equipped with a sophisticated vacuum system, which allows a very safe handling of tritium gas. The triton beam with a maximum energy of 7.2 MeV and beam currents up to 100 µA is used for radioisotope production mainly for biological and medical research. This system after being approved by the ministry of environment is now in use since several years without major complications.
