R&D activities on the tritium storage and delivery system include the development of getter beds to increase tritium recovery and delivery performance, the investigation of tritium reaction characteristics with ZrCo metal-hydride, in-bed calorimetry as tritium measurement techniques, and the development of process design technologies for the storage and delivery system such as pump performance test and bed simulator. The current status of the R&D activities on these subjects is addressed in this paper.
