A review of the state of tritium dosimetry has been carried out by Pacific Northwest Laboratory (PNL) to identify situations where our knowledge of the distribution and retention of tritium in humans is adequately know for radiation protection dosimetry, and where our knowledbge is insufficient. This review includes those chemical forms of tritium most likely to be encountered in the production of tritium in heavy water reactors, and in the use of tritium in luminous signs and in fusion facilities. The main forms of tritium expected to be encountered, and the most studied, are tirtiated water, tritiated hydrogen gas, and organically bound tritium in food. The retention and distribution of these forms of tritium in humans is well enough known that reasonable estimates of dose can be obtained, with the possible exceptions of bound tirtium incorporated into non-dividing cells. Some other forms of tritium that may be encountered are tritium gas contaminated surfaces, tritiated methane, tritiated pump oils, and metal tritiated aerosols. The retention and distribution of these forms of tritium has not been extensively studied, and large uncertainties exist in estimated doses for exposures to these forms.
