Title:
USE OF TRITIATED WATER
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2022174697
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
To provide a method of detoxifying tritiated water contained in radiation contaminated water of the Fukushima Daiich nuclear power plant after the catastrophic accident, PWR nuclear power plants, used nuclear fuel reprocessing plants, and the like.SOLUTION: A method disclosed herein comprises feeding tritiated water into a vertical prismatic cylinder, attaching insulation-coated electrodes on opposing surfaces of the cylinder, applying a DC voltage that changes every minute to break light water molecule clusters, and applying ultrasonic vibration from an upper part of the cylinder to force tritiated water molecules and heavy water molecules dispersed in the water to fall down and get together to make molecular aggregates, thereby producing concentrated water of heavy water and tritiated water. Ultrasonic vibration bubble crushing impact is excited to facilitate β-decay that eliminates neutron-rich instability.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
