Tritium technology Group of QST has paid considerable attention to the research of oxidation technology of tritium in the room temperature recombiner (RTR) in the research field of detritiation system. Dynamic behavior of detritiation from a 12 m³ containment was experimentally demonstrated to show the technical feasibility of RTR.
