The Materials Detritiation Facility is a first of its kind, processing non-combustible, intermediate level waste (ILW) on an industrial scale. It is laid out like a production line with ILW processed to create low level waste (LLW) and tritiated water. The tritium is recovered so that it can be reused in fusion devices.
The facility was designed to treat and process solid ILW generated by Joint European Torus (JET) operations, demonstrating JET’s unique capability of closing its fusion fuel cycle and down-categorising its legacy waste.
