Preliminary Experimental Results for Tritium Accountancy Measurement

The SDS (storage and delivery system) is one of the major components of ITER fuel cycle. The main function of the SDS is to store the hydrogen isotopes and deliver them to the fuel injection system. The tritium inventory of the bed is determined from the decay heat of the tritium without removing the inventory from bed. The decay heat is measured by the in-bed calorimetry. He through the ZrCo bed and measuring the resultant temperature increase of the He flow. Korea has been various test results for the experimental ZrCo beds. Based on this result, we propose concept of tray type ZrCo bed. ZrCo was reacted with the hydrogen ingressed through SUS filter(120mesh) placed in the tray. The heating coils and the helium loop for the inbed calorimetry are installed bottom of the tray. In this paper, we performed thermo analysis on the in-bed calorimetry performance of the bed. Using the software, LABVIEW, the time-dependent temperature distribution of the bed, the temperature difference (Δ T) between the inlet and outlet of the flow through the helium loop
