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.

An overview of the tritium related research and activities presently undertaken in Korea is presented. These activities encompass the Wolsong Tritium Removal Facility (WTRF) in KHNP, isotope separation, storage and biology in KAERI, KEPRI and KAIST. The design status of the WTRF that serves four CANDU reactors is described. It is made up of three parts; liquid phase catalytic exchange (LPCE), cryogenic distillation, and metal hydride storage. Results from the technological R&D of tritium processing for the WTRF and biology are summarized.
