Radical Formation and Trapping in Tritium-enriched Ice


Book Description

Electron-paramagnetic-resonance (EPR) spectrometry was used to follow quantitatively the formation of trapped OH radicals at 77 K in a sample of ice containing 1 curie/ml of tritium-labeled water as a source of internal beta-radiation. The results are compared with the results of studies of gamma-irradiated ice. The absolute value of the rate constant at look, activation energy for the process, and 3/2-order rate expression were the same as those for gammaproduced irradiated ice. (Author).

Safe Handling of Tritium


Book Description

This publication contains information on the dosimetry and monitoring of tritium, the use of protective clothing for work with tritium, safe practices in tritium handling laboratories and details of tritium compatible materials. The information has been compiled from experience in the various applications of tritium and should represent valuable source material to all users of tritium, including those involved in fusion R&D.
