Abstract

To support its extensive program of heavy-water-moderated nuclear generation (which will reach a capacity of 14 GW by the early 1990s), Ontario Hydro has the world's largest production capacity for deuterium. This deuterium is produced in plants based on the bithermal exchange of hydrogen between hydrogen sulfide and water, which can produce in excess of 1000 tonnes/annum of pure D2O. Shortly, Ontario Hydro's involvement in hydrogen isotope production will be extended even further with the commissioning of a plant for separation of tritium from deuterium by means of cryogenic distillation of elemental hydrogen.
