The Tritium Extraction Facility at the Institut LAUE - LANGEVIN, GRENOBLE, FRANCE, is the first facility combining the extraction of tritium and hydrogen from heavy water. This Tritium Extraction facility was built in 1970, and continues to operate entirely satisfactorily. Its staff have accumulated considerable experience, which is summarized in this paper.
