The Safety and Tritium Applied Research (STAR) facility, located in building Test Reactor Area (TRA)-666 at Idaho National Laboratory's (INL's) Advanced Test Reactor (ATR) Complex, conducts tritium research via confinement systems that rely on once-through building and experiment ventilation which is exhausted to a stack.  The building does not have standby power and cannot run the tritium air monitoring system during power outages.  The proposed action would provide standby power for the air monitoring system during outages.
