somewhat 'hotter' but less enduring isotopes, that could be stuck

normal ways?

Yes, but today you only get to learn them at snotty unis.

Look at IMM. They have.

Remember he is more represntative than those of us who (gasp) can use
computers, and do D-I-Y.

I don't know if it is anywhere on the web. It has been written up as
Laboratory Reports, and in the international professional physics journals.
I will hunt to see if I find anything on the net.

If it is true, it needs serious evaluation.

It has been evaluated seriously in the physics community.

Very roughly, yes. But I am talking of stashing the stuff for weeks or
months, not decades.

tritium around. Tritium is a gas and it has a long half life. It scares
the pants off me.

Tritium isn't all that bad. Its half life of about 12 years is short
compared to millenia for fission waste. Tritium is a beta emitter with
18keV electron decay and there is quite a market in tritiated plastics
for permanent glow in the dark (and still some requirement for H-bomb
initiators). Emergency lighting in some applications is based on it.

I am quite happy about making sensible use of the tritium which one manages
to capture. My worry is the stuff which escapes into the atmosphere.
Remember it is a gas.

It is also very much lighter than air and so as a gas is rapidly off up
into the stratosphere and can escape. You need to worry when it reacts
with oxygen to form tritiated water - then it can get into the food
chain and do real damage.

To put this radioactivity into perspective 18keV electrons are only a
little bit more energetic than the electron beam inside a colour TV
tube.

It is true. It was confirmed by a friend, who also worked at CERN.
