Abstract

A bipolar electrolysis system for tritium accumulation and HTO waste volume reduction was designed and built. Experiments were performed to achieve the system specific separation factor for iron and stainless steel cathodes in a 1M sodium hydroxide solution. A separation factor of about 6 for stainless steel and 19 to 26 for iron was measured. The vapor pressure isotope effect under experimental conditions was determined as 1.09±0.03 (T = 279 K).
