Deuterium-Tritium Toroidal Magnetic Confinement Facilities
Experimental fusion facilities are integral to advancing fusion research and informing the design of future power-producing plants. As some of these facilities enter decommissioning, early experience is being gained in dismantling activated components and managing radioactive waste, including tritiated materials. This emerging body of experience ......
