The United States is responsible for the design, fabrication, and delivery of the tokamak exhaust processing system.
The ITER fusion fuel cycle demands the processing of an unprecedented throughput of hydrogen isotopes, including tritium. To facilitate environmental responsibility and economic application of fusion technology, the recycling of hydrogen isotopes is vital. The tokamak exhaust processing system separates the exhaust gases into a pure hydrogen isotope stream and a hydrogen-free gas stream.
