Abstract

The features of a cell with which the electromigration of tritium in metals can be conveniently measured are described. The concentration profile due to the electromigration is monitored by a resistometric technique. The main requirements incorporated in the design of the cell are good thermal homogeneity and stability around the specimens, possibility of housing many samples in one run so as to generate more data during the long waiting times, and the safe containment of the radioactive tritiated samples. The cell has been used up to 300 °C. Results on the electromigration of tritium in niobium are presented to demonstrate the cell performance.
