Abstract
Tritium finds widespread use, outside the nuclear energy industry, in both industry and research. Industrially it is used in the manufacture of luminous articles and certain kinds of electronic valve. In research it is used commonly as a radiotracer. The pattern of the exposure of workers exposed to tritium between 1974 and 1976 in these situations has been explored previously. The purpose of this paper is to bring the analysis up to date with data from the years 1977 to 1980. The estimates of committed dose equivalents have been made from the results of urine monitoring programs. Most of the analyses have been carried out by the National Radiological Protection Board at its Northern Center. Data have been gathered from 29 firms in the luminizing and electronic valve industry and five universities.
