Abstract
The heterogeneous reaction between oxygen/helium gas, tritium and stainless steel was studied at the back surface of a stainless steel tube. The yield of tritiated water was determined as a function of oxygen concentration, tritium concentration, protium concentration, flow rate, and temperature. This report describes the results for two sets of runs done at 550/sup 0/C with and without 15 ppm protium in the oxygen/helium gas. At oxygen concentrations of 40 ppm, the presence of excess protium in the oxygen/helium produced a reduced yield of tritiated water. At oxygen concentrations >1000 ppm, the two yields were equivalent, 98%.
