Description

The safe and economical continuous operation and waste minimization of a fusion reactor require the recovery of the evacuated, unspent fuel. The waste gas effluents to be coped with are discussed on the basis of different operating modes of the tokamak, and subsequently the configuration of the pumping system, gas purification, isotope separation, and the blanket waste gas system are described giving as an example the NET/ITER project. Finally a tritium laboratory is described. (DG)

Abstract (German)

Der sichere und wirtschaftliche Dauerbetrieb und die Abfallminimierung eines Fusionsreaktors erfordert die Rueckgewinnung des abgepumpten, unverbrannten Brennstoffes. Die zu bewaeltigenden Abgasstroeme werden bei verschiedenen Betriebsarten des Tokamak diskutiert und anschliessend am Beispiel des NET/ITER-Projekts die Konfiguration des Pumpsystems, die Gasreinigung, die Isotopentrennung und das Blanketabgassystem beschrieben. Danach erfolgt die Beschreibung eines Tritiumlabors. (DG)
