Impact of trapping on tritium self-sufficiency and tritium inventories in fusion power plant fuel cycles by Samuele Meschini, Rémi Delaporte-Mathurin, George R. Tynan, Sara E. Ferry

“…The results show an increase of a factor $10^3 - 10^4$ of tritium inventory in the first wall and vacuum vessel of an ARC-class FPP when accounting for the aforementioned phenomena. This, coupled with the replacement of components subject to significant tritium trapping, slows down fuel cycle dynamics, resulting in an extended tritium doubling time (50% increase), higher start-up inventory (30% increase), and higher required tritium breeding ratio (2%–5%) compared to a scenario without tritium trapping.…”
