ABSTRACT
The oxidation reaction of CH4 and
CH3T by silica- and alumina-supported catalysts was studied.
The oxidation rate of methane was pseudo-first order with respect to the
methane pressure and the catalytic activity of Pt/Al2O3
catalyst was higher than that of the Pt/SiO2 catalyst. A kinetic
isotope effect was observed for the oxidation reaction on the Pt/Al2O3
catalyst; the activation energies for CH4 and CH3T
were 19.2 and 17.3 Kcal/mol, respectively.
A large part of the tritium in CH3T
was removed as the tritiated water, but some of it was trapped on the supported
catalyst. Tritium was also found to be trapped on the surface of alumina,
the amount being comparable to that observed for the Pt/Al2O3
catalyst. Thus, the exchange reaction between CH3T and hydroxyl
group on the Pt/Al2O3 catalyst is considered to a
predominant role in the trapping of tritium on the catalyst.
In regard to waste handling, the above findings
demonstrate contamination of the oxidation catalyst due to the captured
tritium.

ABSTRACT
A small scale synthesis of [2-14C, 5-3H] cytosine
was attemped by the bromination of [2-14C] cytosine followed
by the catalytic exchange reaction with tritium gas. The radioactive materials
were always in the presence of those nonradioactive as carriers. Bromination
were compared for the solutions of CCl4 and CCl4/H2O.
In the former, bromocytosine was formed without any byproduct, but the
reaction rate was very slow. In the latter, the reaction occurred quite
rapidly and bromocytosine was obtained in a relatively high yield (41〜70%),
though undesirable bromouracil was also found. The double labeled cytosine
was easily formed by a Br-3H exchange between [2-14C,
5-Br] cytosine and 3H2 gas using a catalyst of 10%
Pd/CaCO3.
This paper also presents the experimental
results for the adsorption of unreacted 3H2 gas by
active charcoal at 77K. The amount of 3H2 gas remaining
in the reaction vessel was determined with a tritium monitor. The radioactiveity
was 13 μCi, which was 1/4000 that of the 3H2 gas
initially used.

ABSTRACT
To find a means to avoid tritium contamination
which affects secondary electron multipliers (SEM), the material used in
a marked ceramic multiplier and the SEM itself were studied with respect
to adsorption-desorption behavior and tritium removal.
The tritium adsorbed on the material was
desorbed to a large degree as tritiated water and to small extent as tritiated
hydrocarbons. The desorption took place at to distinct adsorption/desorption
sites. Effective removal from the material was achieved by heating in an
inert gas flow at 500℃for 6 hours. However, heating in vacuo and/or in
the presence of reactive gases (below 5x10-6 Torr) showed insufficient
decontamination when Ceratron was used in the ultrahigh vacuum system.
This is ascribed to re-adsorption of tritium accumulating on the cold parts
of the vacuum system. On the other hand, the photon irradiation showed
a substantial decrease in the noise level to its own background. The decontamination
was not due to thermal effects, possibly arising from photodesorption and/or
photocatalysis. The partial pressure of tritium could be measured with
the Ceratron, while reducing the noise level by photon irradiation, with
good reproducibility.

ABSTRACT
The absorption-desorption behavior of hydrogen
isotopes in a non-evaporable getter (Zr-V-Fe) was examined, with respect
to tritium storage and recovery, by mass analyzed thermal desorption spectroscopy,
X-ray photoelectron and secondary ion mass spectroscopy. The activation
(in vacuo at 700℃) formed pure Zr and V from the oxides of these metals
initially present on the as-received surface. Fe existing as an oxide migrated
into bulk during the activation.
The absorption rate of hydrogen isotopes
was in proportion to their pressure, indicating the rate determining step
to be the dissociative adsorption process. The activation energy was very
small, being from 10 to 20 calories per mole. The desorption rate was proportional
to the square of the amount of absorption, so that the associative desorption
process was the rate determining step. The activation energies were 28.0,
28.6 and 29.3 kcal/mol for H2, D2 and T2,
respectively. This is agreement with the heat of absorption observed by
Boffito et al., 27.8 and 28.8 Kcal/mol for H2 and D2,
respectively.

ABSTRACT
To study the hydrology of the Hokuriku district,
measurement was made of the D, T and 18O contents of precipitation
samples collected at Toyama and Wajima during May, 1981 to October, 1983
and river water samples from the Kurobe River during April, 1980 to March,
1983 were measured.
The δD and δ18O values of the
precipitation samples were minimum in the summer and a maximum in winter.
Precipitation during the spring to autumn, was δD=8δ18O+10
and for the winter, δD=8δ18O+30. The source of the water vapor
of precipitation differed for the summer and winter seasons. The summer
air mass generated on the southern Pacific Ocean or the East China Sea
precipitated rain depleted in the heavy isotopes. A large value for the
intercept with the δD axis, such as 30 in the case of winter precipitation,
may imply the rapid evaporation of water vapor from the sea surface. The
tritium content in the precipitation samples was rather constant (10-15
TU) except for the spring peak.
The Kurobe River samples showed no seasonal
isotopic variation having values close to, δD=8δ18O+20, suggesting
the water from this river to be recharged by aquifers in which equal amounts
of summer and winter precipitation are well mixed. The tritium content
of the Kurobe River ranged from 25 to 30 TU, this being larger than that
of the precipitation samples. This fact suggests that precipitation polluted
by past thermonuclear tests is still present in aquifers and is being discharged
to some extent in the river.

ABSTRACT
The 3H channel background count
rate of a liquid scintillation counter in Tritium Research Center, Toyama
Univ. showed a daily fluctuation due to adsorption of radon and/or its
daughter elements on a vial surface. To reduce and stabilize the background
count rate, the following experiment was performed.
Three background samples which were emulsion
scintillators in 20ml Teflon Vials, two being covered with polystyene cups,
were measured for the 3H channel count rate. The count rate
of the non-insulated sample increased from 2 to 5 cpm and those of the
two insulated samples were each about 1.5 cpm less. This suggests that
the vial coverage considerably reduce the background count rate.
Background samples (D, E, F) having the same
count rate were measured under different conditions (D: non-insulated,
E: insulated by polystyrene cup, F: insulated by polystyrene cup and sponge
rubber). The averaged count rate and standard deviation (±2s) of samples
D, E, and F were 2.71±0.88, 1.98±0.49, 1.96±0.33, respectively. Thus,
the insulation of a vial from Rn and its daughter elements in room air
caused the background count rate to reduced and stabilized.

ABSTRACT
Variation in the background count rate of a
liquid scintillation counter due to natural radioactiveity was measured
by repeat and cycle modes. The samples used for measuring the background
count rate were polyethylene, Teflon, quartz glass and low-potassium glass
vials contained the liquid scintillator only. The background count rate
of the polyethylene vial was found to be lowest among the four vials.
Variation in background count rate was correlated
with the concentration of 222Rn which was strongly affected
by ventilation in the laboratory. 222Rn and its daughter nuclides
giving rise to the variation in background count rate were apparently carried
into the detector section not only by adsorption on the vial but also by
the solution in the vial material. To reduce the effects of 222Rn
and its daughter nuclides, each vial kept in the changer section of the
liquid scintillation counter was covered with a “cap”. As a result, variation
in the background count rate was found to be considerably reduced for all
the vials.

ABSTRACT
The desorption of deuterium and tritium implanted
in pyrolytic graphite was studied, from a view point of tritium inventory
in the first wall of nuclear fusion devices, by means of the thermal desorption
spectroscopy. Damage to the graphite resulting from such an implantation
was also studied by Laser Raman spectroscopy. Deuterium ions and triton
were generated by a conventional ion gun and a 3He(n,p) 3H
nuclear reaction respectively. The average recoil energy of the latter
is 190 keV.
A desorption peak and shoulders were observed
for both the deuterium and tritium spectra. The spectral shape and peak
temperature of deuterium were quite close to those of tritium below a total
dose of 7x1017 ions/cm2, where the Raman spectra
showed that the damage incurred by graphite was to small extent for both
the deuterium ions (5 keV) and triton (190 keV) bombardment. These findings
indicate that the desorption behavior of hydrogen isotopes is not significantly
dependent on the implantation energy. Above this dose, the desorption spectra
showed three distinct peaks and the Raman spectra indicated accumulation
of the damage in the graphite. Thus, the desorption behavior of hydrogen
isotopes depends on the amount of the damage incurred by the graphite rather
than on the energy of the implanted ions.

ABSTRACT
The rotation-vibration spectrum ofν3 of T218O was analyzed on the basis of a rigid rotor approximation. The band constants used for the ground state (T. Kanesaka et al., J. Mol. Spectrosc., in press) were in cm-1: A’’=10.952, B’’=4.863 and C’’=3.315. Those obtained were: ν0=2346.68(11), A’=10.497(6), B’=4.628(10) and C’=3.197(9). Theν0 structures derived from the rotational constants of A’ and B’ are: r’=0.9794 (A) and α’=105.00(゜). The inertia defect, 0.041x10-40 g・cm2, was found to be consistent with that from a vibrational analysis.
