Tritium retention and permeation through aluminum APT tubes
Journal Article

· Materials Characterization
Tritium retention in the walls of the He-3 tubes caused by energetic {sup 3}He(n,p){sup 3}H triton flux is examined by accelerator-based implantation experiments. Retention, measured by post-implantation thermodesorption, is separated into a mobile, permeating and a trapped, near-surface concentration. The mobile fraction is observed to saturate at about 10 appm, while the trapped fraction increases linearly with fluence with a retention fraction of 30% until surface blistering occurs. The consequences of this tritium permeation and inventory to APT and potential methods to reduce these quantities are discussed.
