BWX Technologies, Inc. (BWXT) has pioneered the Tritium Separation Centre (TSC) to address the challenges posed by accumulating tritium in aging CANDU® reactors. Tritium, a radioactive isotope of hydrogen, can elevate personnel exposure and environmental emissions. The TSC is a versatile facility that can be constructed on-site at any CANDU® plant, allowing for efficient processing of tritiated heavy water. This process involves transferring heavy water from the reactor to the TSC, where tritium is separated and safely stored in a high-security underground vault, while the purified heavy water is returned for reuse. Utilizing advanced isotope separation techniques, including gaseous and thermal diffusion, the TSC not only mitigates tritium levels but also enhances reactor capacity factors, demonstrating BWXT's commitment to innovation and safety in nuclear energy management.
