Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The present invention relates to methods and apparatus to increase the loading of isotopic fuels in a metal, such as hydrogen within palladium. The method and apparatus uses an electrical system with anode and cathode, each composed of the same metal with the electrochemical anodic sacrifice of the anode composed of said metal, and an electrolyte containing said metal as an ion and containing said isotopic fuel, thereby codepositing said fuel and said metal ions upon the cathode to increase the loading. In one configuration the anode has a cruciform shape. In the preferred embodiment, means are provided for coaxial loading from a concentric outer cathode.
