technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of detection and analysis of tritium materials, in particular to a thermal analysis device for the state of helium in tritium storage materials. Background technique
[0002] Tritium is an important strategic resource, which is generally stored in metals such as uranium, zirconium, cobalt, titanium, and scandium. But tritium has β - Radioactive, it decays continuously to produce helium. Helium is an inert atom, although it is insoluble in metals, it is easily captured by various defects in the material and aggregated into bubbles. With the continuous accumulation of helium, the mechanical properties of tritium storage materials decrease, and aging effects such as swelling, wrinkling, and powder drop occur, thereby losing the tritium storage function. And at the end of aging, the accumulated helium bubbles will burst, causing an "avalanche" release of helium, destroying the vacuum of the tritium storage container, a...
