tritium release

[Lester.Slaback@nist.gov]

Aside from the power reactor data, the relevant point in
regard to BNL is that the HFBR is a heavy water research reactor. Hence
the tritium release from this facility is not controlled by tertiary
fission but by control of the system heavy water, which gets activated to
tritium concentrations on the order of several curies per liter.
But you cannot predict the tritium release based on the reactor power
level in this instance.
