Experience of TSTA Milestone Runs with 100 Grams-Level of Tritium

Abstract

The first loop operation tests of the Tritium Systems Test Assembly (TSTA)1 with 100 grams-level of tritium were performed at the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) in June and July, 1987. The July run was resumption of the June run, which was halted because of a loss of cryogenic refrigerant in the hydrogen isotope separation system.
