INL’s Fusion Safety Program (FSP) operates a number of experiments to enhance our understanding of the chemical processes and material responses during anticipated off-normal situations of a fusion device. The operating schedule for these experiments is flexible in order to allow the experimental facilities to study and examine the current critical needs of the fusion community.
In April 2000, the FSP was selected by the Department of Energy Office of Fusion Energy Sciences as the host for the Safety and Tritium Applied Research (STAR) facility. This facility was created for use by the fusion community to study tritium science and the technological issues associated with fusion science. Bringing the STAR facility online and assembling the experiments that it will be housed in it are the two primary tasks in our experiments program.
