Studies on Tritiated Waste Management System

Abstract

Tritium is an isotope of hydrogen existing ubiquitously in the environment in the form of water. A treatment and disposal system considering the characteristics of tritium is proposed, The proposed system is composed of the three components of Waste Package, Repository, and Environment, (1) the Repository being an artificial, impervious tank having a spiral-shaped structure in (2) the Environment, and having the feature of being capable of controlling the migration path of groundwater.
