Tritium Effects in Plastics. Studies at the Savannah River Site

OSTI ID:9175
Plastics are used in a variety of places in the tritium processing facilities at the Westinghouse Savannah River Company in Aiken, SC. Thus they are routinely directly exposed to tritium and suffer from radiation damage. This effectively limits their process lifetime as typically the properties that made them useful are adversely impacted. At the point where they must be replaced, they become radioactive waste. All radioactive waste is categorized and inventoried at the Savannah River Site (SRS), and a sound technical basis for this process is desired. Thus the Savannah River Technology Center (SRTC) has embarked on a program to determine typical tritium content in waste plastics.
