A data collection system for obtaining availability/reliability data on fusion technology has been installed at the Tritium Systems Test Assembly (TSTA) of Los Alamos National Laboratory. The system is fashioned after the Centralized Reliability Data Organization developed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The data collection system is currently being used at TSTA and is working well. The amount of data that has been collected at TSTA to date is not sufficient to indicate meaningful trends in availability analysis.
