Creators

  • 1. Commission of the European Communities, Abingdon (UK). JET Joint Undertaking

Description

Work underway to ensure safe methods of working with tritium are implemented and to obtain the necessary approvals and authorisations before tritium arrives on site is described. The information and analyses are discussed under four broad categories: (a) routine tritium releases to the environment; (b) occupational exposures; (c) accidental releases; and (d) waste handling. A programme has been developed to ensure that all safety issues are adequately addressed at appropriate times during the design, manufacture, installation, commissioning and operation of the tritium plant.
