gave evidence of conversions to water greater than 1 percent. Furthermore, although the amounts of soaked tritium (both calculated and observed) are usually only a very small fraction of the total tritium release, the soaked tritium is significant, in that its continuous return to the enclosure extends the cleanup time beyond the predicted value in the absence of soaking mechanisms. Where rapid detritiation of an enclosure to the recommended radiation control guideline level (5 ..mu..Ci/m/sup 3/ for HTO) is required, there may be some incentive for venting and flushing of the enclosure toward the end of the cleanup operation.
