This book focuses on tritium as a fuel for fusion reactors and a next-generation energy source. Following an introduction of tritium as a hydrogen radioisotope, important issues involved in establishing safe and economical tritium fuel cycles including breeding for a fusion reactor are summarized; these include the handling of large amounts of tritium: confinement, leakage, contamination, permeation, regulation and tritium accountancy, and impacts on surrounding areas. Targeting and encouraging the students and technicians who will design and operate fusion reactors in the near future, this book offers a valuable resource on tritium science and technology.

Introduction of a nuclear fusion reactor.- Characteristics of tritium.- Fuel flow and balance in a DT fusion reactor.- Burning plasma.- Behavior of fuels in reactor.- Tritium fueling system.- Tritium measurement I.- Tritium measurement II.- Permeation and Permeation Barrier.- Contamination and decontamination.- Isotope separation system (ISS).- Evaluation method of tritium breeding ratio using neutron transport equation.- Recovery of Tritium Bred in Blanket.- Safety confinement system.- Behavior of tritium released to the environment.
