Twas the night before Christmas when all through the houseNo electrons were flowing through even my mouse.
All devices were plugged in by the chimney with careWith the hope that St. Nikola Tesla would share.

A new tritium removal system using gas separation membranes has been studied to develop more compact and cost-effective system for a fusion reactor. To obtain necessary parameters, which are directly scale able to the ITER Atmospheric Detritiation System, the basic tritium recovery performance was investigated with a scaled polyimide membrane module (hollow-filament type : 10 m3/hr ) loop. The result shows that the H2 recovery ratio from N2 or Air was more than 99 % or about 97 %, respectively, at flow rate ratio of permeated/feed =0.1, feed & permeated side pressures = 2580 & 80 torr, and module temp. = 293 K. Tritium (HT) recovery function was almost the same of H2 recovery, even though the total hydrogen concentration was a few ppm in the feed of module. H2O recovery performance was better than hydrogen recovery. These recovery functions were improved effectively decreasing the pressure ratio of permeated/feed of module.
