Multiple-pass photoreactor for laser isotope separation of tritium

Abstract

As much as 106 Ci of tritium is expected to be released annually in the effluent water from a nuclear fuel reprocessing plant that will be constructed in the next ten years in Japan. While many conventional hydrogen isotope separation processes are considered for the recovery of this tritium, laser isotope separation is believed in principle to have the advantage for this application, since the energy required for separation is directly related to the laser beam absorption by tritiated molecules present in the ppm level, while major untritiated molecules are unaffected.
