Tritium decontamination techniques for machine components and their application at tritium handling facilities are reviewed. These include commonly used methods such as vacuuming, purging, thermal desorption and isotopic exchange as well as less common methods such as chemical/electrochemical etching, plasma discharge cleaning, and destructive methods. Problems associated with tritium contamination of walls and use of protective coatings are reviewed. Tritium decontamination considerations at fusion facilities are discussed.
No. DOE has set the limit at 10,000 dpm/100cm2 by wipe sample.
Tritium. What did you think it was?
The oxide of tritium is tritium oxide, sometimes called super heavy water, or 3H2O.
Tritium occurs naturally in all water. The highest average annual tritium level measured in the drinking water of Canadian communities neighbouring nuclear facilities is about 18 Bq/l. Th drinking water limits recommended by Health Canada is 7,000 Bq/l.
Tritium is an isotope of hydrogen, so it is colorless.
Tritium is not the most stable isotope known.
Tritium Dont Eat Anything? They Are Type Of Watches.... :)
Tritium decay to helium-3.
Tritium, or Hydrogen 3, has an atomic mass of 3.016.
Tritium is an isotope of Hydrogen. Hence its other name, hydrogen-3.
Tritium has two neutrons and one proton: the mass is 3 amu.
