Abstract
The present invention is concerned with a process for recovering tritium from tritiated water wherein a gas stream containing tritiated water steam is conducted into an electrolytic cell within which is disposed an oxygen ion conductive solid electrolytic membrane having a cathode and an anode disposed upon the opposite surfaces thereof. As a result of the electrolysis process, tritium gas is collected from the cathode side of the electrolytic cell, while oxygen gas is collected from the anode side of the electrolytic cell.
