Challenges in Environmental Tritium Analysis

Tritium is used in many fields as technology advances, so it is essential to understand how this affects the environment. However, there are many issues with current tritium analysis, especially OBT analysis. These include the situation that it is complicated and time-consuming. There is no standard sample with which to evaluate the analysis techniques, nor any standardized analytical method. This leads to a lack of data on the environmental behavior of tritium. To select the appropriate analytical method and measurement equipment, it is important to determine the concentration level and sample type. This paper therefore introduces these issues in detail.
