TRITIUM RECYCLING

 NSSI provides Tritium recovery services in excess of 99% of the contained Tritium for reuse and resale as an alternative to the land disposal of high Tritium content materials at its hazardous, mixed and radioactive waste processing center.

 NSSI is currently accepting electron capture detectors, static devices, sealed neutron generator tubes and target assemblies with activities ranging from milli curies to multiple Curies.

Tritium is a major problem from a land disposal standpoint as Tritium exchanges readily with ground water and tends to move easily through geologic structures. Land disposal sites limit the Tritium activity of incoming wastes to 1 micro Curie per cubic centimeter unless expensive over pack containers are utilized.

As a result, Tritium generators are searching for alternatives to land disposal in order to protect the environment, limit operational expenses, and avoid future liabilities associated with the remediation of sites which have Tritium mobility problems. 

Waste streams treatable by the Thermal Desorption System include targets from neutron generator devices, foils from electron capture detectors, static eliminators, static measurement devices, ion getter pumps, and metal components of Tritium handling systems and Tritium gas storage devices.
