METHOD FOR PRODUCING TRITIUM AND HE-3 FROM HEAVY WATER

摘要

PURPOSE: A method for producing tritium and helium-3 based on heavy water is provided to improve economical characteristics by generating helium-3 from the collapse of tritium. CONSTITUTION: A method for producing tritium and helium-3 based on heavy water includes a process in which tritium(13) is extracted from a coolant and a moderator in the pressurized deuterium reactor(11) of an existing tritium removing facility. Helium-3(21) is separated from stored tritium through a membrane. Remaining tritium is removed from the separated helium-3 based on a metal getter. Remaining tritium is separated by a membrane or collected.
