THIRD TRITIUM SCHOOL: 18 - 22 MARCH 2024

The Third Edition of the Tritium School will take place in Marseille, at the Jardin du Pharo

The event will take place on the 18-22 March 2024.

The TITANS is glad to announce the Third Tritium School. It will consist of five days: four days will be dedicated to invited lectures and contributed talks, and the last day of the event a visit of ITER will be organised. The young generation of researchers working in fusion and fission research and development are encouraged to participate to gain knowledge and present challenges in the field of tritium management in fusion and fission facilities.

Topics:
– Tritium management, inventory and control
– Waste
– Radiotoxicity / ecotoxicity
– Epidemiology of tritium
– Tritium dosimetry
