ITER will produce tritium and neutron activation products. The amount and
long-lived activity of the latter will be minimized by a judicious selection
of construction materials.

As I understand it, ITER will NOT produce tritium -- it will consume tritium
provided by other sources, such as fission plants (Canada was going to offer
its stock of T from de-tritiation of heavy water moderator, but I don't know
if that deal is still "on").

Also, I believe that many anti-ITER environistas pick on the tritium issue,
since quite large inventories of the radioactive gas will be stored on-site.

PS. congratulations to Japan, for not hosting ITER.
