The JET Active Gas Handling System is designed for processing of the exhausts from the JET Torus and its ancillaries to enable tritium to be recycled through the machine. The design concept was established in mid 1987 and site installation is essentially complete. This paper describes the measures and solutions which were adopted for achieving construction standards and gaining approval for operation of such plant.
