Water Detritiation: Better SCK·CEN Catalysts for Liquid Phase Catalytic Exchange

Kinetics and reactive stripping modelling of hydrogen isotopic exchange of deuterated waters

“…14.1 and eq. 14.2 [2]. At a given height of a column of height Z, the exchange rate is expressed by Eq.…”

“…HDOL, HTOL, DTOL, T2OL and D2OL) and gases (i.e. DT, HT, HD, D2 and T2), at levels over ten thousand times higher than those produced by existing light water reactors [2]. There is evidence of adverse health effects on populations living near tritium facilities, owing to facile wall permeation by tritium even in low levels under the operated temperatures [1].…”
