An apparatus for recovery of tritium from contaminated gaseous mixtures by way of isotope-exchange processes includes a container having a preferably cylindrical shape made of steel or other suitable metal or glass, referred to as “module” (1), which contains at least one permeator tube (T) made of metal or metal alloy selectively permeable to hydrogen and its isotopes, wherein the tube (T) is set in cantilever fashion with its free end closed, there being further provided elements for applying an axial tensile force on the free end of the permeator tube (T) and elements for electrical connection of the free end of the tube (T) to an end flange (FF) of the module (1) adjacent thereto. |
