Effects of Tritium in Elastomers

Conference ·
OSTI ID:810367
A number of elastomers, used as flange gaskets in the piping system of the Savannah River Plant tritium facilities, are being examined to identify those compounds more radiation-resistant that the currently specified Buna-N rubber and to study the mechanism of tritium radiation damage. This paper discusses this study.
