DT fusion reactor has been studied. In this type of fusion reactor, about 500 g of tritium should be burned and produced every day in the 100 MWe class of reactor. Fusion reactor has itself the potential safety, however, the most important safety point of the DT fusion reactor is tritium confinement. In this report, large amount of tritium safety handling experiences, accumulated in the Hydrogen Isotope Research Center, University of Toyama, and in the Tritium Process Laboratory, Japan Atomic Energy Agency, are summarized and its accomplishments of the related safety studies are also reviewed.
