REMOVAL OF TRITIUM CONTAMINATION FROM SURFACES OF METALS
Technical Report

OSTI ID:4246733
Heat treatments greatly chance thc removal of tritium contamination from metals that have been exposed to heavy water used as a reactor moderator. Heat treatment for 30 minutes at 300 deg C was found effective in removing general contamination. Quench treatments following the heating significantly improved the decontamination process. The ''smear'' technique for the detection of tritium on surfaces is much more sensitive and reliable if the paper smear is wet with a compound of low volatility, e.g., oil or glycerol. (auth)
