Encyclopedia
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. The facility design was launched in 1977. It was commissioned in 1982 and first tritium
was processed in 1984. The maximum tritium inventory was 140 grams. Many publications were generated during this project.
