THE PURPOSE OF THE CONSORTIUM
The Purpose is to jointly organise and make appropriate proposal (s) to the Client (s)
and to contribute, on the basis of Contracts, as widely as possible, to the realisation and
the success of the ITER Tritium Plant System and related areas of ITER construction.
CONSORTIUM GENERAL STRATEGIES
• To ensure an efficient management of the overall Project,
• To avoid duplication of the work by adopting and following a strongly coordinated work
programme
• To exploit the specific competences of the Parties.
AREAS OF INTEREST TO THE TriPla-CA
•The ITER Tritium Plant systems
•The ITER Atmosphere Detritiation Systems
•The ITER Hot Cell Facility
Use of test facilities
In support of R&D activities for the design of ITER WDS and ISS, the TriPla-CA shall take benefit
of at least the following test facilities:

ASSIGNMENT OF WORK TO THE GROUPS

- ISS Engineering & Design
ICIT - WDS Engineering & Design
ENEA - HAZOP & RAMI Studies
CEA
- Licensing & associated QA
The main duty of the ISS Engineering & Design Group is to characterize the specific
ITER ISS components at ITER relevant scale, to develop the hardware and soft
systems in order to control the tritium inventory and to provide the deuterium and
tritium streams at the required levels.
The group in charge with the development and design of the ITER WDS shall
comply with the ITER new identified throughput and to provide the required
decontamination factor, tacking into account the various isotopic compositions
that can be built, during long term operation.
The group in charge of HAZOP & RAMI Studies, required by the client, must assist
in defining a safe system design and acceptance criteria for equipment that is wetted
by tritium.
The group in charge with Licensing & Associated QA cordinate and monitoring
the Quality Assurance (QA) activity inside the overall Project and the safety and
licensing related activities inside the Project

ITER WDS
For ITER, the WDS is one of the key systems to control the tritium
content in the effluent streams, to recover as much tritium as possible and
consequently to minimize the impact to the environment.
The most suitable process for water detritiation is the CECE process, a
combination of electrolysis and catalytic exchange of hydrogen isotopes in a
Liquid Phase Catalytic Exchange (LPCE) column.
The separation duty of the CECE process for fusion reactors is very
high (tritium concentration in the released H2 from the WDS for ITER shall
be < 700 Bqm-3 air at a typical activity of tritium in the water feed of 370
GBqm-3).
ITER ISS
The Isotope Separation System (ISS) envisaged to be used
in ITER consists of a cascade of four cryogenic distillation columns
with the aim to process a gas stream from the Vacuum Vessel via
the Tokamak Exhaust Processing (TEP) system and a second one
from the Water Detritiation System mixed with the return stream
from the Neutral Beam Injectors. The ISS has to supply five
streams with various tritium, deuterium and hydrogen composition.
The top product of a CD column from ITER-ISS (CD1 column) has
to be almost tritium free to be discharged into the environment,
which is one of the main concerns from the licensing point of view.

KIT, ICIT and ENEA, in the frame of the Consortium Tri-Pla-CA, jointly prepared
and submitted an offer, answering to the ITER call for tender C4T/09/90/PMT PRI0001338 – “Development of method for highly tritiated water handling in
ITER Tritium Plant. Phase 1”. ( deadline 22.10.2009 )
The work to be perform – assessment of the methods for handling of highly
tritiated water (HTW) which will be produced in some operational cases at ITER
Tritium Plant
The consortium evaluate a possible contribution to the Design Working Order
that has been released by ITER aiming on "Tritium accountancy and tracking for
inputs to RPrS“.
The purpose of this work is to provide an updated concept of ANS and inputs to
RPrS on tritium accountancy and tracking.
The consortium estimated the costs for the ISS, WDS and ANS ITER systems.
