An all metal apparatus has been constructed and installed in the main cell of the Tritium System Assembly (TSTA) at Los Alamos National Laboratory, as a separate experiment, to handle about 2600 Ci of tritium for study of metal tritides of potential application for storing tritium in fusion fuel processing. The apparatus is similar to that used for protium/deuterium gas but some modifications were made to assure safe handling of tritium. The pressure-composition isotherms for the LaNi{sub 3}Mn{sub 2}-protium (H), deuterium (D) and tritium (T) system were measured to study isotopic effects in the temperature range of 60 {degree}C to 250 {degree}C, the pressure range below 120 kPa. 2 refs., 10 figs.
