We proposed the concept of tritium and heat energy non-contact recovery in a vacuum at AESJ conference in 2016. The droplet size most contributed the extraction efficiency. Prevailing atomization were induced by the instability of two-phase flow in a gas, whereas the tomiazation mechanism in a vacuum is not yet reported. We developed the atomization nozzle available in a vacuum and performed experimental verification.
