Abstract
The decommissioning or refurbishing processes of nuclear facilities result in significant amounts of radioactive wastes. Radiological characterization is essential to ensure safe handling, transportation, and disposal of these wastes and includes the assessment of the radioactivity levels and types of radioactive materials present in the wastes. The present paper presents the tritium activity determination in used titanium tritide targets from different decommissioned nuclear facilities from Măgurele Area – Romania. The determination of tritium content in tritiated targets involves the use of the Total Combustion technique coupled with Liquid Scintillation Counting analysis of the resulting tritiated water. The tritiated testosterone controlled contaminated titanium powder was used to determine the overall yield of the Total Combustion facility. The determined yields were then used to correct the experimental values obtained during the process.
