Organically bound tritium in sediments from the Severn Estuary, UK [PDF]
, 2006 Amersham plc, now GE Healthcare, has discharged both organically bound tritium (OBT) and tritiated water (HTO) into the Severn estuary since 1981. The OBT component of these discharges results in elevated tritium (3H) activities in the sediments and ...

Tritium Behavior from Vine to Wine
Applied SciencesThe hydrogen radioactive isotope, tritium, not only reflects seasonal variation in precipitation but also variations on a local level. To use this radioisotope in authentication and geographical indication procedures, the tritium levels in vines, grapes,

Experience acquired on environmental sample combustion for organically bound tritium measurement
Applied Radiation and Isotopes, 2009 International audienceIn order to determine organically bound tritium (OBT) concentrations, environmental samples are generally first freeze-dried. This first step is to remove tritiated water.

A MINI REVIEW OF ORGANICALLY BOUND TRITIUM IN THE ENVIRONMENT
A MINI REVIEW OF ORGANICALLY BOUND TRITIUM IN THE ENVIRONMENTOrganically bound tritium (OBT) is radiologically relevant for radiation protection purposes due to its persistence and relatively long effective half-life (80 days).

Apparent enrichment of organically bound tritium in rivers explained by the heritage of our past
Journal of Environmental Radioactivity, 2014 International audienceThe global inventory of naturally produced tritium (3H) is estimated at 2.65kg, whereas more than 600kg have been released during atmospheric nuclear tests (NCRP, 1979; UNSCEAR, 2000) constituting the main source of artificial ...

Organically bound tritium speciation in environmental matrices
, 2020 Le tritium est l’isotope radioactif de l’hydrogène et peut ainsi intégrer les molécules organiques d’un organisme vivant en suivant le cycle de l’eau et former la fraction tritium organiquement lié (TOL). L’existence de deux formes de TOL est communément
