Abstract
The TFTR research program is preparing to commence the first high fusion power experiments using deuterium-tritium fuel in the U.S. Fusion Program. TFTR project personnel are completing upgrades to TFTR's engineered and administrative systems to support a safe and efficient transition from the earlier deuterium-deuterium (DD) operations to deuterium-tritium (DT) operations. This paper discusses the preparations that have been completed and those that are currently underway to achieve the project goal of high-powered deuterium-tritium plasmas.
