TRANSAT A European Horizon 2020 funded project PROJECT TRANSversal Actions for Tritium

ABOUT TRANSAT

TRANSAT (TRANSversal Actions for Tritium) was a four and a half year  multidisciplinary project that contributed to improving the knowledge on tritium management in fission and fusion facilities. It aimed to address the challenges related to tritium release mitigation strategies and waste management improvement, and refine knowledge in the fields of radiotoxicity, radiobiology, and dosimetry.

The project aimed to achieve 3 strategic objectives.

99

Focus on technologies that will help reduce tritium permeation during the conceptual phase of nuclear reactors or devices.

99

Improve tritium waste management through innovative measurements that assess both tritium inventory and profile, and through improved mitigation concepts in the case of tritium release above the acceptance criteria of the storage facility.

99

Improve the knowledge in the fields of radiobiology, dosimetry, radiotoxicology, genotoxicology and ecotoxicology, and of the environmental consequences in the case of contamination by tritiated products.

Impact

Various stakeholders contributed to the work carried out in TRANSAT and benefitted from project outcomes. The production, storage, transport and other operations related to tritium will need a more specific framework in the long term. This project brought major inputs to the existing technical and legal frameworks and to the development of appropriate rules, procedures, standards, legislation, etc. The outcomes also brought new technical knowledge to the fission and fusion community, and helped public and private stakeholders prepare for an appropriate global management and financial environment in the short, medium and long term horizon.
