Tritium Systems Test Assembly
The Tritium Systems Test Assembly (TSTA) was a facility at Los Alamos National Laboratory dedicated to the development and demonstration of technologies required for fusion-relevant deuterium-tritium processing. Facility design was launched in 1977. It was commissioned in 1982, and the first tritium was processed in 1984. The maximum tritium inventory was 140 grams.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]
