Technical aspects of the upgrade and commissioning of the tritium and related systems at TFTR

Systems for delivering tritium to the Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor, and for cleaning the tritiated glovebox and room atmospheres, are being upgraded and commissioned as are the HVAC for the rooms and areas which will house tritium bearing systems. Major activities on the tritium systems included: alterations to glovebox atmosphere control logic; redesigning of cleanup system skids to allow maintenance and repairs; improvement of process instrumentation and logic, including increased capability for control and monitoring by a distributed control system; addition of a monitored vent system; preparation of operating instructions; and other enhancements. Design of changes to the HVAC are in the conceptual state
