Self-Radiolysis of Tritiated Water: Experimental Study and Simulation

Self-radiolysis of tritiated water. 4. The scavenging effect of azide ions (N3−) on the molecular hydrogen yield in the radiolysis of water by 60Co γ-rays and tritium β-particles at room temperature

“…18,58 Throughout this study, we assumed that tritiated water could simply be described as a "dilute" solution of 3 HOH in light water, with concentrations of low volumic activity (typically, less than $1 Ci per mL) so that dose-rate effects could be ignored. 25,59…”

Effect of Tritium and Dissolved Oxygen on Anodic Polarization of SUS304 Stainless Steel in Sulfuric Acid Solution

“…After assembling the experimental setup, the purge gas was aerated for 90 min to remove the dissolved air containing mainly N 2 that would result in nitric acid in tritiated water due to radiolysis, [12][13][14] and to equilibrate the [DO] in the electrolyte with purge gas containing 0$20% O 2 . The potential was kept at À0:7 V vs. AgjAgCl for 10 min as a cathodic treatment to remove the natural oxide layer, and thereafter remained an open circuit for 30 min.…”

Review: Self‐radiolysis of compounds containing tritium and carbon‐14

“…The reaction of unlabeled water (H 2 O) with beta particles (produced from radiolysis of T 2 O) affords both stable molecular species (H 2 , H 2 O 2 , and O 2 ) and radicals 61–68 . The rates of evolution of H 2 and O 2 of a 1800 Ci/L T 2 O in water solution are 1.22 × 10 −5 (±0.07) mol L −1 s −1 and 7.44 × 10 −6 (±0.45) mol L −1 s −1 , respectively 69,70 …”
