RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT FACILITIES FOR SAFETY HANDLING WITH TRITIUM AND ITS COMPOUNDS IN FUNDAMENTAL AND APPLIED STUDY
Experimental facilities were created allowing to safely carrying out fundamental and applied study using tritium-containing components in conditions provided at non-specialized workrooms. Discussed are the technical characteristics of the equipment and setups relevant to the case, as well as methodological treatments providing reliable conditions for the research works done on the following problems: the muon catalyzed fusion; the study of properties of drip-line, light exotic nuclei; the phenomenon of super-permeability of tritium through the group V metals; penetration of hydrogen through constructional materials, including materials loaded with radiogenic <sup>3</sup>Не; the interaction of structural materials with hydrogen isotopes, including tritium as well, under pressure of up to 300 MPa.
