Production and release of tritium by nuclear power plants and reprocessing plants and the expected radiological burden till the year 2000 (in German)
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4934582
Natural tritium production is summarized in this report together with the yields from nuclear weapons and nuclear facilities. Specific production rates and the consequent release rates representative of time are evaluated for the different types of nuclear power plants. Release rates from fuel reprocessing plants are also included. An estimation of tritium inventory from fusion reactors is also attempted. Based on the forecasted onset of nuclear facilities till the year 2000, the time-dependent production rates as well as the global inventory are calculated. On the strength of the release rates and a global mixture in the hydrosphere, tritium concentration in water is evaluated. For the German river system the tritium-lake up capacity is estimated.
