In 1987 the Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute (JAERI) and the U. S. Department of Energy (DOE) signed a collaborative agreement (Annex IV) for the joint operation and joint funding of the Tritium Systems Test Assembly (TSTA) at the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) for a five year period ending June 1992. The tritium research and development accomplished during this five year period has provided a very valuable data base for tritium technology development for fusion reactors. During the five year collaboration a number of significant experiments were completed and major programmatic milestones were carried out. This paper summarizes some of the major accomplishments, with emphasis on the results and data of integrated test:ings of components and subsystems of plasma exhaust gas processing loop at TSTA. The integrated TSTA gas processing loop was operated continuously for maximum up to 25 days. During the 25-day extended operation, both the JAERI fuel cleanup system and the original TSTA fuel cleanup system were operated successfully under similar conditions of flow, pressure, and impurity content of the DT gas in fusion reactors. The isotope separation system was operated continuously, using the laser Raman spectroscopy system for in-situ analysis of the gas in the loop.
