Design of a tritium recovery system

Conference ·
OSTI ID:7255856
A new effluent cleanup system for tritium recovery (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 several topics that represent possible engineering improvements as well as considering several areas of surprise and difficulty.
