The characteristics of seven proposed tritium production reactors, two fissile, one accelerator, and four fusion designs, were examined. The fission reactors use near-term technology and are designed to meet current safety and environmental guidelines. Conversely, the fusion reactors require long-term research and development but appear to offer improved safety and environmental impact and, perhaps, much lower costs.
