Tritium analysis in deuterium gas and deuterated metals of the IVb group

Abstract

In the study of the possibility of D-D nuclear fusion reaction in metallic lattices, tritium detection is one of the ways to demonstrate that such a reaction has taken place. In the tests based on heavy water electrolysis tritium production has been ascertained. It seemed worthwhile to look if, also in the process of metals deuteration, tritium is being produced. In order to detect a possible production it is necessary to analyze both the deuterium used for the operation and the deuterated metals. A system based on the oxidation of deuterium and tritium to water, trapping in a cold trap and finally counting in a scintillation spectrometer has been set up. The possible source of error are discussed. 2 tabs., 3 figs., 13 refs.
