摘要
Several evaluation techniques of tritium in material have been developed so far, such as imaging plate method or electrochemical etching and thermal desorption analysis, as well as conventional β-ray counting. For the latter, its detectable depth is usually limited to a very thin surface region, for example, about 1μm depth for organic and 0.1 μm for metallic materials owing to the shallow escape depth of tritium β-rays.
