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 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.
