Abstract A Tritium fuel cycle must have the capability to import tritium inventory from transport storage containers enable initial stockpiling and future refresh of inventory. The Joint European Torus (JET) Active Gas Handling System (AGHS) previously imported Amersham uranium beds (U-beds) via a decanting system housed in Analytical Make-up box secondary containment. Due significant operational challenges with this system, new Decanting Facility (TDF) was designed built, U-beds for JET...
Abstract The Active Gas Handling System (AGHS) stores, supplies and re-processes tritium for the JET fusion experiment. plant had not operated in this capacity recent years required upgrade recommissioning to enable use during latest campaigns. Thousands of transfers operations have now been performed with over 1 kg total supplied subsequently recovered reprocessed. This paper summarises AGHS providing examples from campaigns, presents knowledge gained lessons learnt. A summary sub-system...
Abstract The JET Active Gas Handling System has designed and commissioned a new analytical gas chromatography system. novel design included modification of basic off-the-shelf chromatograph to become tritium compatible incorporated customised hardware seven detectors, switching valves separation columns into one analyser. functionality the system was proven during inactive commissioning phase species including hydrogen isotope molecules (H2, HD D2), air components hydrocarbons up decane,...
