Description
The design of ITER/DEMO tritium processing systems should benefit from experimental data and process validation on experimental facilities that are relevant from size and operational parameters point of view. Several rigs and experimental facilities have been developed or are under development in order to characterize different materials and components for some ITER and DEMO Tritium Plants like packings for ITER WDS (Water Detritiation System) or zeolites for DEMO Helium Cooled Pebble Bed Tritium Extraction and Recovery system. Beside the experimental activities, several design activities have been performed with respect to the two systems. The main achievements concerning the R&D and design activities with contribution from ICSI and KIT are introduced.
