The design studies of Air Detirtiation System have been carried out in JAEA as a contribution of Japan to ITER. For the tritium processing technologies, our efforts have been focused on the R&D of the tritium recovery system of ITER test blanket, using mainly molecular sieve and/or electro-chemical pumping system. A series of fundamental studies on tritium safety technologies, such as tritium behavior in a confinement and its barrier materials, monitoring, accountancy, detritiation and decontamination etc., has been carried out as a major activity in JAEA for ITER and fusion demo reactors. In this paper, the above recent activities on tritium technologies at Tritium Process Lab. in JAEA are summarized for ITER and future fusion reactor.
