The heat output of tritium has been determined by calorimetry as 0.3240±0.0009 watt/gram. This value is about 1 to 4% higher than those previously reported. If the half-life of tritium is 12.43i0.04 years, then its average beta energy is 5.73±0.03 kev.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
