60 Years of U: Perspectives on resources, demand, and the evolving role of nuclear energy
Recent years have seen growing global interest in nuclear energy and rising confidence in the sector. For the first time since the early 2000s, there is renewed optimism about the industry’s future. This change is driven by several major factors: geopolitical developments that highlight the need for secure energy supplies, a stronger focus on resilient energy systems, national commitments to decarbonization, and rising demand for clean and reliable electricity.

In order to extend the usefulness of the tritium imaging plate technique(TIPT), we have performed three tasks: (1) to establish a film insertion method to avoid the cross-contamination of the imaging plate (IP) via tritium transfer from tritiated samples, (2) to discriminate tritium activity from other high energy radiation source, also using the film insertion method, and finally (3) to demonstrate the applicability of the TIPT from minute tritium levels even at activities as low as a few Bq/cm2.
