Design of a tritium recovery system

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6964198
A new effluent cleanup system for tritium recovery (Vacuum Effluent Recovery System, abbreviated VERS) has been designed by the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory for use at their tritium facility in cleaning argon box atmospheres and pump exhausts. It is the standard catalyst-molecular sieve (zeolite) system, and is directly descended from the cleanup system at Mound Laboratory. This paper deals with possible engineering improvements as well as areas of difficulty.
