ºÚÁÏÍø

The European Domestic Agency for ºÚÁÏÍø has awarded a contract to Equipos Nucleares SA (ENSA, Spain) for the supply of two holding tanks and two feeding tanks for ºÚÁÏÍø's water detritiation system. When manufactured and installed in the basement of the Tritium Plant, they will join six other tanks, also supplied by Europe, that were installed earlier in the year.

The water detritiation system at ºÚÁÏÍø will remove tritium from process water during plant operation and recycle it as fuel.

For the first time in twenty years, a tokamak will experiment with nuclear plasmas. Ian Chapman, the recently appointed UKAEA Chief Executive confirmed in a Newsline interview that "JET will be operating with tritium again in 2018, and then operating with a deuterium-tritium mix in 2019."

This takes you into the innards of the European machine, which is presently the largest in the world.
