Kinetics of the radiation-induced exchange reactions of H/sub 2/, D/sub 2/, and T/sub 2/: a review

Quadrupole mass-filter sensitivities of H/sub 2/, HD, D/sub 2/, and T/sub 2/, and the kinetics of. beta. -particle induced exchange between H/sub 2/, D/sub 2/, and T/sub 2/ at 25. 4/sup 0/C

“…In our analysis 5 of the H 2 + T 2 = 2HT data from Ref. 4, we showed that the k values, and therefore the T values, were roughly directly proportional to the total pressure and the tritium pressure to the 1 /2 power.…”

“…In our literature search for the review report 5 we did not find any general treatment that would allow us to predict the time-to-equilibrium for these reac tions. The treatment used for the H 2 -T 2 data was apparently derived from the appearance of the kinetic curves.…”
