Abstract
The specific activity of the moisture in the exhaust gas from a dryer was measured at various conditions. It approximately equalled that of the residual moisture left on the adsorbent during the previous regeneration. Modeling was used to demonstrate that this residual tritium can affect emissions and occupational dose during chronic or acute detritiation, and should be accounted for during ADS design and analysis.
