Description
Ontario Hydro's Tritium Removal Facility (DTRF) is presently in its early operating phase. The DTRF was built in order to reduce the average dose rate per worker and tritium emissions in all of Ontario Hydro's CANDU reactors. As a byproduct tritium may be sold to civil users. This paper provides an overview of the system design, commissioning philosophy, program and results. Four areas of the plant are considered separately: 1. Main Extraction Process, 2. Tritium Immobilization System, 3. Glove Box Clean Up System, and 4. Support Systems
