Facilities

Hydrogen isotope research center (HRC) is a facility that is controlled by a Japanese low, “Act on Prevention of Radiation Disease Due to Radioactive Isotope, etc”, because our center handles tritium of radioisotope. Therefore, HRC has the duties to prevent the staffs, students, and researches from receiving radiation damages and to maintain the public safety, when using tritium. To fulfill these duties, the following safety management systems are introduced in HRC:

These are the most important systems to keep the safety of HRC, and must always run correctly. Hence, we conduct the detailed inspection of the systems and their maintenance once a year.

• Controll room
  • Tritium monitor system
  • Ventilation and exhaust cleanup system
  • Water drain system
• Power generation system
• Tritium removal system for room air and glove boxes
• Glove boxes
• Entry-exit control system
• Flammable gas detection system
• Tritium storage
