Abstract Korea has 26 nuclear power plants (NPPs). Out of these 26 plants, 4 are Canada Deuterium Uranium (CANDU) reactors at the Wolsong nuclear power site. In CANDU reactors, deuterium oxide is used as a moderator/coolant, and tritium is produced whenever a deuterium oxide nucleus captures a neutron. The Wolsong Tritium Removal Facility was designed to remove tritium generated in CANDU reactors. We are introducing tritium environmental protection not only at the Wolsong NPP but also at the High-Flux Advanced Neutron Application Reactor (HANARO) and in high-temperature gas-cooled reactors (HTGRs). We present a tritium behavior analysis code and assess the concentration of tritium in combustible dry active waste. Advanced techniques are introduced to transfer tritium from tritiated water to the gaseous phase. In addition, research on the nuclear fusion tritium storage and delivery system, which is part of the fuel cycle, has been carried out. In this paper, we present the recent progress in the effort to develop tritium systems at the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute.

KAERI 氚研发现状

摘要 韩国有 26 座核电站 (NPP)。在这 26 座工厂中，有 4 座是位于月松核电站的加拿大氘铀 (CANDU) 反应堆。在坎杜反应堆中，氧化氘用作减速剂/冷却剂，每当氧化氘核捕获中子时就会产生氚。月松氚去除设施旨在去除坎杜反应堆中产生的氚。我们不仅在月松核电站，而且在高通量先进中子应用反应堆 (HANARO) 和高温气冷堆 (HTGR) 中引入氚环境保护。我们提出了氚行为分析代码，并评估了可燃干活性废物中氚的浓度。引入先进技术将氚从氚化水中转移到气相。此外，对作为燃料循环一部分的核聚变氚储存和输送系统进行了研究。在本文中，我们介绍了韩国原子能研究所开发氚系统的最新进展。
