Re: Tritium consumer sources

["David Whitfill" <DWhitfil@kdhe.state.ks.us>]

John Jacobus on Jan. 20 gave the web address for obtaining the pdf
formatted draft document NUREG-1717, Systematic Radiological Assessment of
Exemptions for Source and Byproduct Materials:

http://www.nrc.gov/NRC/NUREGS/SR1717/index.html

This document has dose assessment information for products that contain
tritium (it even has a NORM section). The document is over 800 pages in
length, but it is probably worth a look. For instance, Table 2.3.1 is a
summary of potential radiation doses from time pieces containing tritium in
paint.

Subject:  Tritium consumer sources


Does anyone know the tritium activity in tritium watches and gunsights??
I'm trying to provide a consumer product comparsion to the tritium activity
releases from our radwaste tanks and very low levels of tritium identified
in on-site non-drinking water monitoring wells  This information is being
presented to an off-site citizen advisory board.
