HEALTH PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH THE ACCELERATION OF TRITONS IN A 2.5 MEV VAN DE GRAAFF

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4842679
Some of the health problems associated with the acceleration of tritons in a 2.5-Mev Van de Graaff are enumerated. In the course of years of operation many procedures in the handling of tritium and tritium-contaminated components were accumulated. A summary of these experiences is presented. While there are potential dangers associated with tritium acceleration, reasonable precaution was found to prevent serious personnel exposures. (auth)
