Abstract

The Divertor Tokamak Test (DTT) facility will start its operations in 2026. DTT will operate with D-D fuel only, for an expected operational period of 25 years. Nevertheless, tritium will be produced by the D(d,p)T reaction. A mandatory step in the safety assessment of the machine is the estimation of the different source terms. Major contributions to the source terms are due to tritium and to activated dust. The amount of tritium in the vacuum chamber, in co-deposited tungsten layers and implanted in the bulk of the first wall is computed in this work. Also, a preliminary estimation of dust production due to inter and intra ELMs sputtering is carried out. Results report small amount of source terms related to tritium, below 1 mg after one year of full power operations, and less than 300 g of activated dust at the end of life.
