摘要
The rate of oxidation of molecular tritium has been determined at room temperature in closed austenitic stainless steel containments versus the tritium concentration of tritium-oxygen gaseous mixtures. With our experimental conditions, the overall rate of oxidation is found to depend not only on tritium concentration but also on initial oxygen concentration. The tritiated water which is produced, does not remain in the gaseous phase but is partially trapped on the surface oxides. In addition, kinetics of reaction are strongly dependent on the geometry of the cylindrical containments. When the vessel diameter is smaller than 4 mm, tritiated water formation is significantly reduced.
