Summary
| Description |
English: Numerous safety systems have been incorporated into the National Ignition Facility (NIF) to assure that all experiments can be safely carried out. Although NIF will use very small amounts of tritium in its targets, a state-of-the-art tritium processing system has been installed to contain this material and provide a mechanism for its safe disposal. This filter system extracts tritium from the air that has entered the target chamber and deposits it into containers for safe removal. Material that is removed from the target chamber is cleaned of any contaminants and safely disposed of to appropriate offsite facilities. NIF is located at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in northern California. |
