U.K. consents to Hinkley Point B decommissioning
The U.K. government’s Office for Nuclear Regulation has granted EDF Energy formal consent to decommission the Hinkley Point B nuclear power plant in Somerset, England. The two-unit advanced gas-cooled reactor was permanently shut down in August 2022, and site owner EDF applied to ONR for decommissioning consent in August 2024.

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.
