ABSTRACT:
Installation and method to regenerate cold traps loaded with the hydride and oxide of a metal, such as sodium, in its liquid state. A forced circulation of the orginal liquid metal of a tank (11) is created at a temperature sufficient to dissolve the solid deposits. The hydrogen and tritium ions are filtered and end up at a storage tank (42) where they are fixed, whereas the oxygen ions recombine so as to form a new oxide deposit in another trap (23) cooled to a temperature enabling only the oxide to be deposited. An application is for fast neutron nuclear reactors and fusion reactors.
