Progress and prospects on tritium safety for fusion energy
Abstract
<p indent="0mm">Tritium safety is a key safety issue for a fusion reactor, and it is one of the most important problems that should be solved before the construction of a fusion reactor. Progress of tritium safety research including tritium distribution in fusion reactors, tritium confinement, tritium disposal, tritium-induced environmental problems, and human radiation effects, has been discussed in this article. Considering the roadmap of fusion energy development via magnetic confinement, we also propose the roadmap for tritium safety. Key issues related to science, technology, and also engineering are also suggested.</p>
