ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for separating oxides of heavy isotopes of hydrogen (deuterium oxide and oxides of tritium oxide) from water which is contaminated with these heavy hydrogen isotopes such as that currently being discharged from nuclear power plants. A central aspect of this invention includes an elongated length of hollow core fiber (HCF). By pumping the contaminated water into the HCF on either a static or a dynamic flowing basis, significant amounts of the oxides of heavy hydrogen isotopes remain in the HCF for subsequent disposal, the water discharging from the exit end thereof being substantially lower in heavy hydrogen isotope content.
