Description

A low-level tritium facility, directed at fusion materials research, was built at UTIAS. The facility consists of a bakeable uhv system housed in a continuously ventilated glove box. The system is totally oil-free, and is pumped by a combination of cryosorption, cryocondensation and getter pumps. Test specimens are studied under molecular or atomic tritium exposure. Experiments to date have been focussed on studies of chemical erosion of carbon, tritium retention and diffusion in graphite
