In addition to plutonium, a number of other dangerous fissile substances are produced, such as cesium, technetium, krypton, strontium, iodine, ruthenium, rhodium, palladium and also the superheavy hydrogen isotope tritium (called ³H or T). * We take a closer look at the 'radioative isotopes' tritium, 137cesium, 90strontium and 131iodine because they pose great dangers. * Tritium has a half-life...

of over 1000° were generated - the hope for safe nuclear energy. But the dream shattered after numerous safety deficiencies and incidents. In 1978, significant amounts of strontium 90 and tritium leaked from the reactor into soil and groundwater. Both can cause leukemia, and strontium 90 can also cause bone cancer. Nevertheless, the reactor continued to operate at a temperature that was far too high. The...

Extensive nuclear weapons production facility established in the 1950s and covering over 800 km². Five SRS reactors produced 36 tons of weapons-grade plutonium and radioactive tritium (H3). These activities yielded approximately 140 million liters of highly radioactive liquid wastewater, housed in 51 aging steel tanks and currently in large...

It should be examined whether mobilizing influences such as pH value changes over decades can be excluded. Moormann and Strauch see the concentration of tritium as very problematic: "There is still the possibility that larger amounts of tritium than HTO can be found during the draining of the water from the reactor and during the perhaps somewhat amateurish attempt to...

It should be examined whether mobilizing influences such as pH value changes over decades can be excluded. Moormann and Streich see the concentration of tritium as very problematic: "There is still the possibility that larger amounts of tritium than HTO (= tritium compound, HB) may be present during the draining of the water from the reactor and perhaps during the... .
The international INES rating scale and the list of nuclear power plant accidents
The grassroots organization Sierra Club Canada protested against the extension in 2013 and called for the nuclear power plant to be shut down immediately due to aging, increasing radiation and increasing release of tritium. In June 2010, unexpected beta-gamma radiation from reactors 5 to 8 was released into water. On March 14, 2011, 73.000 liters of water flowed...

are summarized. Initially, the facility was part of the nuclear weapons program and was focused on plutonium production and processing, the production of Pu fuel assemblies and the production of tritium and lithium-6” (p. 780). And in this context, the atw authors talk about the spherical fuel elements of the high-temperature reactor: “HTR fuel was manufactured...

he declared it a failure (see appendix). The current chairman of the German Reactor Safety Commission, Michael Sailer, comes to a critical assessment of the possibility of producing tritium for nuclear weapons through the THTR (see appendix). The THTR was only in operation on 423 of a total of 1.600 approved full-load days; its utilization was less than 50%. (...) As a citizens' initiative,...
became the possibility of military use of an HTR module. If lithium is added to the graphite of the fuel elements in excess of the unavoidable proportion, then a targeted extraction of tritium, a sought-after atomic bomb material, can be achieved. The Soviet scientists' arguments were strongly influenced by an abstract, physical approach to individual questions. This includes...

November 09th - 15.11.1987th, 21: Under the heading "findings", the operators ticked off an accident in which unacceptably high levels of the radioactive substance tritium reached the Lippe last week (WA November 11st, 1987). January 29.01.1988, 1987: The THTR resumed operations after the annual overhaul that began in October 27.02.1988. February XNUMX, XNUMX: The THTR was...
1988 - Lothar Hahn on the subject of proliferation in pebble bed reactors
Fuel elements that have been branched off can be replaced by dummy elements. From this point of view, the HTR has a clear special feature that can be used militarily: it can be used as an effective tritium producer. By using a suitable fuel composition (e.g. by adding lithium), the production of tritium for use in atomic bombs can be controlled and...

Blind elements can be exchanged. The radioactive material for an atomic bomb can be produced within two months of operation. The radioactive tritium produced at the HTR line is particularly important for increasing the explosive power of nuclear bombs and is not covered by the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and is therefore not subject to international control. (For more details see...

for an atomic bomb can theoretically be obtained by processing 50.000 spent fuel balls, ie with a throughput of 1000 balls per day in less than two months. Tritium from the THTR for nuclear warheads By using the noble gas helium, the HTR produces radioactive tritium in a reaction triggered by neutrons, which is used for the construction of...
