Abstract

Dans le cadre d’une réflexion sur l’impact environnemental et sanitaire du tritium, un séminaire a été organisé par les experts de l’article 31 du traité Euratom en novembre 2007 à Luxembourg. Son objectif était de préciser les axes de recherches et développement et de déterminer des points réglementaires qui devaient être revus compte tenu de l’évolution des connaissances. Cet article présente les informations relatives aux sources et stocks actuels de tritium, rappelle succinctement les différentes techniques de mesure utilisables en considérant l’ensemble des besoins d’analyses, et présente à grand traits les connaissances principales et les incertitudes associées sur les transferts entre compartiments de la biosphère en conditions normales et accidentelles.
