Tritium recovery by cryogenic hydrogen isotope distillation

Conference ·
OSTI ID:7031963
; ;
The Hydrogen Isotope Separation System (HISS) recovers radioactive tritium (H/sup 3/) from mixtures of hydrogen isotopes using cryogenic distillation. HISS receives feeds containing six molecular species of hydrogen and enriches the tritium to greater than 90% with a single raffinate containing less than 0.5 Ci/day. Test results with protium-deuterium mixtures are presented.
