Summary: | The invention particularly relates to a method for producing helium-3 from moderator heavy water of a heavy water reactor, which comprises the following steps: step 1, carrying out negative pressure rectification on the moderator heavy water in a moderator system of a heavy water reactor unit to obtain concentrated high-tritium heavy water; step 2, performing beta decay on the concentrated high-tritium heavy water in the step 1 to generate helium-3 raw material gas; and step 3, carrying out activated carbon adsorption, helium-argon separation and hydrogen isotope gas adsorption on the helium-3 raw material gas obtained in the step 2 to obtain helium-3. According to the method for producing helium-3 through the heavy water reactor moderator and the heavy water, the technical difficulty and high cost of helium-3/helium-4 isotope separation are technically avoided, equipment and technologies possibly clamped by foreign countries do not exist, the technology maturity is high, and economical efficiency is good.
