NOVELTY - Method for removing lithium tritide from lithium blanket involves transferring molten lithium containing lithium tritide from a lithium blanket to a separator, extracting a fraction of lithium tritide from the molten lithium into a solvent phase by contacting the molten lithium phase in an extraction column of the separator with a solvent phase molten lithium hydroxide, separating the phases, recovering the solvent phase containing fraction of lithium tritide, and carrying out electrochemical process of the solvent phase containing lithium tritide to recover tritium.    USE - Method for removing lithium tritide from lithium blanket of nuclear fusion reactor (claimed).    ADVANTAGE - The lithium tritide is efficiently removed from the lithium blanket of nuclear fusion reactor.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - Method for removing lithium tritide from lithium blanket involves transferring molten lithium containing lithium tritide from a lithium blanket to a separator, extracting a fraction of lithium tritide from the molten lithium into a solvent phase by contacting the molten lithium phase in an extraction column of the separator with a solvent phase molten lithium hydroxide or molten lithium carbonate, separating the phases, recovering the solvent phase containing fraction of lithium tritide contained in the molten lithium before contact, and carrying out electrochemical process of the solvent phase containing lithium tritide to recover tritium. INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are included for the following:    (1) method for removing and recovering tritium from solution of lithium tritide in molten lithium metal, which involves extracting lithium tritide from the molten lithium into a solvent containing lithium salt(s), and subjecting the solvent containing lithium tritide to electrolysis in a electrochemical cell operating at a predetermined voltage to reduce lithium ion to lithium metal and to oxidize tritide ion to tritium gas. The cell comprises spaced apart cathode and anode defining a flow path, and a porous conductive material disposed in the flow path and coupled to the cathode or anode;    (2) electrochemical cell; and    (3) method for operating electrochemical cell.
