Measurement of tritium permeation through resistant materials near room temperature

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5739963
To measure tritium permeation through low-permeability materials at 50 to 170/sup 0/C, we use highly-sensitive liquid scintillation counting to detect the permeating tritium. To validate our method, we conducted extensive experiments with copper, for which much data exists for comparison. We report permeability of tritium through copper at 50, 100, and 170/sup 0/C, and discuss details of the experimental technique. Further plans are outlined. 15 refs., 5 figs., 1 tab.
