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.

A simple method of predicting the tritium concentration in air leaving an atmospheric-detritiation dryer (ADD) was developed and compared to experimental data. The prediction method was developed for use with closed-loop regenerated, thermal-swing dryers by extending the constant-pattern method for analyzing desiccant dehumidifiers. Tests were carried out at tritium activities up to 3 500 GBq/kg. For ADDs filled with commercial, zeolite desiccants, it was found that the prediction method provided a reasonable worst-case estimate of the tritium concentration (Bq/m3) exiting a dryer during adsorption.
