Abstract
Efficient separation of tritium from hydrogen by selective multiphoton dissociation (MPD) of tritiated trifluoromethane with a CO2 laser has been demonstrated in our laboratory and elsewhere.1 The same method is not as successful for separating tritium from deuterium because the absorption selectivity ratio is too low at CO2 laser wavelengths.
