Experiments attempting to recover deuterium from an HDO sample have been performed. Many of the problems involved have been overcome, but enrichment has not yet been demonstrated. Advances in both theoretical and experimental studies, and problems still to be overcome are presented here. Selective molecular excitation is considered a viable method for the separation of deuterium and tritium from water. (auth)
