Abstract
The natural content of tritium is so low that its measurement generally requires a preliminary enrichment. The thermal diffusion on hydrogen is studied as an enrichment method. The installation studied comprises two stages of columns of the hot-wire type, together with a device for transferring the tritium from the water sample into the hydrogen in the columns using catalytic exchange. A complete mathematical treatment for the operation of such a unit has been made and programmed for the IBM 7094 computer. An optimization has been effected by means of this program. It is shown that for similar performances, less hydrogen is retained in the case of hot-wire type columns than in the case of columns composed of concentric tubes.

On etudie la diffusion thermique sur l'hydrogene comme moyen d'enrichissement. L'installation que l'on etudie comprend deux etages de colonnes du type fil chaud, et un dispositif de transfert du tritium de l'echantillon d'eau dans l'hydrogene des colonnes par echange catalytique. Un traitement mathematique complet du fonctionnement d'un tel ensemble a ete etabli et programme sur machine IBM 7094. Une optimisation a ete faite
