Times Cited Count:25 Percentile:81.9(Nuclear Science & Technology)Aiming at realization of the efficient blanket tritium recovery system of a fusion reactor, research and development of the hydrogen pump using the proton conductor are furthered. One of the advantages of the system using the hydrogen pump is concurrent processing of hydrogen isotopes and water vapor by one component. In this work, experimental research on the hydrogen extraction characteristic in a water molecule was performed with the hydrogen pump using SrCeYbO. In hydrogen extraction from a water molecule, application of the threshold, voltage corresponding to the decomposition energy of water, is necessary. The observed threshold was about 500-600mV at 873K and decreased with the increase in water vapor pressure. About pumping of H-HO mixture gas, the permeation of H anteceded water decomposition, and the threshold of water decomposition increased with the increase in hydrogen partial pressure. In order to process concurrently, application of fairly higher voltage is expected to be necessary.

Research-and-development of the supercritical water-cooled prototype fusion reactor which has cost competitiveness has been performed in Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute (JAERI). It is necessary to establish immediately the design concept of the blanket tritium recovery system which collects tritium continuously and safely from the supercritical water-cooled blanket because fuel self-sufficiency is inevitable in the prototype reactor. The candidate systems are; 1) batch-processing cryogenic molecular sheave bed recovery system with cryogenic temperature operation, 2) continuous processing Pd membrane penetration recovery system with high vacuum operation. In the present study, however, the third candidate system, the hydrogen pump system with protonic conductors, was investigated. As a result of the study, it was made clear that the system with minimized energy consumption and minimized accidental tritium release could be realized by using the hydrogen pump for the blanket tritium recovery system of the prototype fusion reactor.
