Sl.No. Synosis Points
1 Tritium is one of the naturally occurring isotopes of hydrogen and is radioactive. There are 18 isotopologues of water one of which is HTO. Thus, making tritium an integral part of water molecule. Tritium is produced in stratosphere by spallation reaction of nitrogen with cosmic ray neutrons. The steady state inventory of tritium is about 11g/day. The produced tritium is oxidised and leads to formation of tritiated water which reaches troposphere through the mixing layer between stratosphere and troposphere. This process is specially enhanced during the spring season and is known as spring leak. The time taken by the tritium from its production to enter the hydrological cycle is about 30 days. The environmental input of tritium is very low, hence, for measurement of tritium in natural waters preconcentration of tritium is essential. Environmental tritium plays an important role in estimating the residence time of water and evaluating the groundwater dynamics. The half-life of tritium i
