Abstract
The program and facilities necessary for the safe handling of tritium at the Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor (TFTR) have undergone substantial evolutionary changes as the period of deuterium-tritium operation approaches. Details of these changes (which pertain to plasma-exhaust handling, water swamping, molecular sieve regeneration, premixed-gas composition, system venting, and tritium supply to neutral beams) are presented. Tritium and process flow are diagrammed, and equipment arrangements are given
