Los Alamos has a wide array of materials characterization instrumentation which can be applied to tritiated materials.  Instrumentation includes XPS, Scanning Auger, SEM, SIMMS,  sputtered neutrals, metallography and solid state tritium surface concentration measurement.  Using this capability a series of studies were performed on TFTR tiles which had been used during D-T operations.

For more information on this capability contact Mark Paffett, Bob Reiswig or Scott Willms.
