The Materials Detritiation Facility (MDF) at Culham Campus is a key facility in developing UKAEA's waste strategy for JET's decommissioning and repurposing. Materials recovered from JET's Sample Retrieval Campaign (late-2024) are heated in a furnace, with our team of researchers measuring how much tritium is removed and recovered.

The MDF is also processing legacy waste removed from JET, and is operated by the Tritium Fuel Cycle division.
