Abstract：
The excess³H (tritium) have been observed in the volcanic lakes Nemrut (Turkey), Laacher (Germany) and Pavin (France). The⁴He and³He concentrations in Lakes Nemrut, Laacher, and Pavin were determined to be 25 and 190, 10 and 50, and 70 and 500 times larger than the atmospheric saturation value respectively. The isotopic ratio of the helium excess,³He_ex/⁴He_ex, in Lakes Nemrut, Laacher and Pavin was (1.032±0.006)×10^－5, (7.42±0.03)×10^－6and (9.09±0.01)×10^－6respectively. The³He/⁴He ratio of helium isotopes in the lake can help us to identify the origin of gas fluxes from the interior of the Earth. The³He/⁴He ratios in the Lakes Nemrut, Laacher and Pavin clearly indicate that a large amount of helium isotopes were released to the lakes from mantle source. The excess³H at the bottom of Lakes Nemrut, Laacher and Pavin have a good correlation with mantle³He. We consider that the excess³H might be also released from mantle source and both³H and³He might be produced by nuclear fusion (d-d reaction) in an environment rich in H atoms and (U+Th) at high temperature and high pressure condition in deep Earth.
