Annual Site Environmental Report for Calendar Year 2004

Nonproliferation and fusion power plants

“…Sample environmental monitoring data from the Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor (TFTR) and National Spherical Torus Experiment (NSTX) at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory are shown in Tab. 1; TFTR operated from 1995-1997, 1998 was a transitional year from TFTR to NSTX, NSTX operated from 1999-2008, and TFTR underwent decommissioning activities between 1999-2002 [64,65,66,67,68,69,70,71,72]. Note that data are skewed and do not correct for rain and groundwater interactions, nor do they include the distinction between elemental tritium (HT) and tritiated water (HTO) releases.…”
