Tritium is sepd from a gas stream by a process in which the gas, contg. O2, is passed to a reaction body (34) contg. molten electrodes (31,32) to produce energy-rich electrons which ionise the molecules in the stream. Stream passes to an appts (40) for absorption, with a wash tower (41) for absorbin...
