Popis: Environmental concerns demand that all tritium releases be minimized. In particular an experiment recently fielded at Los Alamos National Laboratory required a 4 mm3 volume to be dynamically filled to a pressure of 7 MPa, while keeping the total tritium content (and potential release) below 20 Ci (1 Ci = 3.7 × 1010 Bq). We describe the system which was designed and built for this purpose, complete with a low volume fiberoptic monitor and pressure transducers.
