Fusion energy: Progress, partnerships, and the path to deployment
Over the past decade, fusion energy has moved decisively from scientific aspiration toward a credible pathway to a new energy technology. Thanks to long-term federal support, we have significantly advanced our fundamental understanding of plasma physics—the behavior of the superheated gases at the heart of fusion devices. This knowledge will enable the creation and control of fusion fuel under conditions required for future power plants. Our progress is exemplified by breakthroughs at the National Ignition Facility and the Joint European Torus.

The Raman spectroscopy is a very attractive method for real time, in-situ process monitoring and control in a tritium facility. From the viewpoint of safety and inventory of the tritium, the Raman spectroscopy allows the content of tritium in different points on a process to be measured. It's a dynamic measurement with a short analytical period. Coupled with fiber optics, a Raman spectrometer allows on-line analysis of a tritiated process in a glove box with the spectrometer exterior to the glove box. This method should be applied to isotopic analysis of gas mixtures. The experimental results show that this technique is suitable for qualitative and quantitative analysis of tritiated gas mixtures.
