Theoretical evaluation of the tritium extraction from liquid metal flows through a free surface and through a permeable membrane
Effective tritium extraction from PbLi flows is a requirement for the functioning of any PbLi based breeding blanket concept.For a continuous plant operation, the removal of the tritium dissolved in the PbLi has to be performed in line and sufficiently fast.Otherwise, tritium inventories in the liquid metal, start-up inventories and buffer inventor
