Preparation technologies and performance studies of tritium permeation barriers for future nuclear fusion reactors

, 2020
Thermonuclear fusion reactor systems are fuelled by hydrogen isotopes. The hydrogen isotopes can easily permeate through structural materials because of small atomic radius, which may result in fuel loss and radioactive contamination.

Comparison of tritium release behavior in Li2TiO3 and promising core-shell Li2TiO3–Li4SiO4 biphasic ceramic pebbles

, 2020
In a D-T fusion reactor, self-sufficiency of tritium is one of the critical issues to maintain steady-state operation of the reactor. Li2TiO3 and core-shell Li2TiO3–Li4SiO4 biphasic pebbles have been irradiated by thermal neutrons in Kyoto University.

The issue of Tritium in DEMO coolant and mitigation strategies

, 2020
A certain fraction of the tritium produced in DEMO blanket permeates into the primary coolant due to the high temperatures and the large metallic areas. From primary coolant, tritium can reach the working areas and the external environment via permeation

Tritium release property of Li2TiO3-Li4SiO4 biphasic ceramics

, 2020
The tritium release experiments of Li4SiO4 pebbles, Li2TiO3 pebbles and Li4SiO4-Li2TiO3 biphasic pebbles were conducted to investigated the tritium release behavior of Li4SiO4-Li2TiO3 biphasic pebbles.

Evaluating anthropogenic and environmental tritium effects using precipitation and Hokkaido snowpack at selected coastal locations in Asia

Science of the Total Environment, 2019
Tritium dating requires a good understanding of the tritium and water inputs into hydrologic systems, including their main trends due to latitudinal, seasonal and altitudinal effects. Although tritium reached ambient levels at the end of the 20th century,

Tritium and Health

Journal of the Royal Society of Health, 1988
TRITIUM is produced naturally by the interaction of cosmic rays with the atmosphere and in nuclear reactions in rock. Large quantities of tri tium are produced artificially in the nuclear industry and during the testing and use of thermonuclear weapons. Tritium enters the hydrological cycle and is incorporated into organic substances, including tissues,

Tritium depth dependence of tritium imaging

Review of Scientific Instruments, 2001
A Monte Carlo simulation of tritium β particle motion in a matrix material indicates that the probability of escape through the material surface is greater than 50% for near-surface tritium, but drops quite rapidly with increasing depth. Beyond an areal density depth of 2×10−5 g/cm2, the decline is close to exponential, with an e-folding length of ...

Developments on the tritium extraction and recovery system for HCPB

, 2020
The tritium release from the ceramic materials of the DEMO Breading Blanket (BB) is a complex mechanism due mainly to the chemistry of the interface between the breeder material and the purge gas.

Release kinetics of tritium generation in neutron irradiated biphasic Li2TiO3–Li4SiO4 ceramic breeder

Journal of Nuclear Materials, 2019
Biphasic Li2TiO3–Li4SiO4 tritium breeders with different phase ratios were prepared by the solution combustion synthesis method. The as-prepared biphasic Li2TiO3–Li4SiO4 and single-phase materials were irradiated by the thermal neutron with the flux of 2.

Tritium levels in milk in the vicinity of chronic tritium releases

Journal of Environmental Radioactivity, 2016
Tritium is the radioactive isotope of hydrogen. It can be integrated into most biological molecules. Even though its radiotoxicity is weak, the effects of tritium can be increased following concentration in critical compartments of living organisms. For a better understanding of tritium circulation in the environment and to highlight transfer constants
