Monsanto/Mound Laboratory Tritium Effluent Control Systems

OSTI ID:934594
Multigram quantities of tritium are routinely handled at Mound Laboratory in inert atmosphere gloveboxes for processing and recovery, and in various production, research, development and analytical systems; some of which are enclosed in high-velocity fume hoods. Effluents from these functions, as well as from passboxes, vacuum pumps, and maintenance operations, must be processed to remove tritium, tritium oxide, and tritiated pump oil vapors before the effluent gases are released to the environment. Mound Laboratory has designed and constructed practical and efficient systems that provide for this very important containment and tritium effluent control capability. These systems coupled with other design and procedural changes have resulted in a significant decrease in tritium contamination to personnel and tritium release to the environment.
