Abstract: This article analyzes gaseous tritium discharge and liquid tritium discharge since the operation of TNPS Unit 1&2 (VVER). It was found that the tritium discharge and normalized discharge meet the standard's requirements. After the 18-month fuel cycle, the annual emission of gaseous tritium did not change significantly, but the annual discharge of liquid tritium increased. Liquid tritium discharge is the main way at TNPS Unit 1&2, and the proportion of liquid tritium discharge is greater than 90% of total tritium discharge. In each fuel cycle, the monthly discharge of liquid tritium changes periodically, while the monthly emission of gaseous tritium does not change significantly.

Key words: TNPS, VVER, tritium, discharge
