Influence of water concentrations to chemical forms of tritium generated in mercury through a nuclear reaction

Manabe, Kentaro ; Yokoyama, Sumi

Influence of water content to chemical forms of tritium generated in mercury was evaluated for assessment of potential internal exposure in the Japan Spallation Neutron Source (JSNS) using a mercury target. In order to simulate the condition of tritium production in the mercury target, mercury samples containing a small amount of metallic lithium as a source of tritium and water were irradiated with a thermal neutron beam. It was found that the ratio of HTO to the sum of HTO and HT increased with the water content in the mercury samples.
