Recent surveys confirm high levels of U.S. nuclear support
Surveys have consistently indicated that public support in the United States for the use of nuclear energy has been increasing in recent years. Four recent surveys continue to suggest that near-record-high numbers of Americans support nuclear energy. However, the survey results differ—sometimes widely—in the details of their findings.

The subject of the present paper is the separation of hydrogen isotopes by gas chromatography using the elution technique. The suitability of various molecular sieves for this separation is first assessed on the basis of defined chromatographic separation values. The application of molecular sieve 5A as an adsorbing agent and helium as carrier gas proves beneficial. The influence of facility and operating parameters on the quality of the separation is shown in a parametric study. The investigations indicate that the separation of hydrogen isotopes on molecular sieve 5A by gas chromatography can be used both for analytical and preparative purposes.
