The author is developing a numerical calculation code to support the design of the air clean-up system based on catalytic oxidation and adsorption. This time, the author developed a numerical computation code that predicts the tritium behavior in large rooms based on the flow field. With this numerical calculation code, the behavior of tritium accidentally released was predicted. The results of calculation indicate the importance of the consideration of flow field for the accurate prediction of tritium behavior.
