Tritium release apparatus with the function of pulse mode heating were developed by using the infrared ray furnace to demonstrate the pulse mode heating of tritium breeder blanket for the fusion reactor. This apparatus was installed in the glove box of the beryllium PIE facility that constructed the hot- laboratory of Japan Materials Testing Reactor. The performance of this apparatus is that the minimum time of rapid heating up to 1015 °C is about 119 s and maximum heating rate reached at 1000 °C/min. The maximum temperature is depended on the crucible materials because of the differences for infrared ray absorption. The conversion efficiency of the gaseous water by ceramic electrolysis cell is above 99.99 %. The pulse mode heating of the tritium breeder and neutron multiplier materials of the blanket could be demonstrate by using this apparatus.
