Tritium is a radioactive isotope of hydrogen, and due to its limited supply and related high price, it is necessary to recover it from tritiated materials via detritiation technologies. The number of tritiated materials arises during fusion. Tritium from fusion reactors is deposited in the outer layer of plasma-facing materials, which must be dealt with during maintenance or decommissioning processes. A second source of waste is laboratory equipment that could be contaminated with tritium.
