Separation of Helium and Tritium

So then you've got helium mixed in in the same chamber as your tritium and deuterium. So there will need to be a separation process. And these are possible because they are so different. You have chemical differences and physical differences in them that this kind of separation will be possible. We don't even have a single gram of fuel inside of a big fusion device at any given time.
