Abstract
In the last fifty years many studies have proved that the one of the best process of tritium elimination is
the hydrogen isotopes separation by cryogenic distillation. On the other hand this process is now
recommended (from economical and technical reasons) in production of tritium used like fuel in the next
fusion reactors. A computer code is developed for exact simulation based on the present models of
cryogenic distillation column, modified numerical methods (for ensuring the convergence of algorithms)
and experimental data.
