Patent ID: 6994831

Claim:
A dynamic (rotary) system for tritium decontamination, comprising: an exterior reaction vessel having a first interior chamber and a rotational axis positioned along an axis of symmetry of said exterior reaction vessel; an interior reaction vessel positioned in said first interior chamber and having a capability to house a group of one or more tritium contaminated items and where said interior reaction vessel is mechanically coupled by means of structural configurations on an interior surface of said exterior reaction vessel which essentially matching a plurality of structural configurations on an exterior surface of said interior reaction vessel so that movement of said exterior reaction vessel is transferred to said interior reaction vessel causing a similar movement; a means for generating a flow of zone gas from an ozone generator to an interior chamber of said interior reaction vessel; a means for removing moisture from said flow of ozone gas where said moisture removing means is coupled by means of a first connecting pipe to an outlet port on said ozone generator and by means of a second connecting pipe to an inlet port leading to said interior chamber; a means for rotating said exterior reaction vessel about said rotational axis where said rotational means is coupled to an external surface of said exterior reaction vessel; a means for sealing said interior chamber from an ambient environment; an exhaust line coupled to said exterior reaction vessel to allow an effluent gas generated in said interior chamber to flow from said interior chamber of said exterior reaction vessel to a processing unit where the effluent gas is cleaned of products which are determined should not to be released to an open stack; a means for providing a negative pressure to an interior passage of said exhaust line to provide a pressure differential to expedite removal of said effluent gas from said inner chamber.
