An Overview of Experiments at Chalk River on HT Dispersion in the Environment

Analysis of vadose zone tritium transport from an underground storage tank release using numerical modeling and geostatistics

“…Controlled field experiments to study the behavior of tritium in the environment were conducted in Canada (Burnham et al, 1988) and France (Paillard et al, 1988). In both experiments, a controlled release of tritiated hydrogen (HT) to the atmosphere was con- ducted, and the rate of conversion of HT to HTO measured.…”
