Development of advanced technologies for photochemical tritium recovery. Bi-quarterly progress report, January 1, 1982-June 30, 1982

Mixtures of CTCl/sub 3//CDCl/sub 3/ were successfully detritiated by 12..mu.. laser multiple-photon dissociation. The lower limit of the T/D enrichment factor was determined to be approx. 165. Additional studies concerning the effects of pulse energy, irradiation geometry and sample pressure were conducted. Characterization of both untuned and tuned NH/sub 3/ laser configurations were completed. Further laser studies considered implementation of a short pulse CO/sub 2/ laser pump source for either the current NH/sub 3/ laser or for possible use in a rotational Raman laser. Process engineering requirements for T/D separation at Savannah River were studied in detail and the first complete process design for implementation is presented.
