Development of 100-kCi Tritium Transport Vessel

In this paper, a tritium storage and transport vessel was designed and manufactured to use the tritium of Wolsong TRF for the tritium industry. Uranium and zirconium-cobalt (ZrCo) metals were selected for the tritium storage materials. The transport vessel was designed on the basis of Type-B transportation package standards. The vessel was composed of a steel drum, inner packing materials, and a storage bed. The safety of the transport vessel was evaluated by structural and thermal analyses.
