Accumulating levels of Tritium for bodies that have a regular annual intake.
(In multiples of yearly absorption, until the year 2026)
![]() |
The multiples can
be converted to percentages by multiplying by 100;
i.e. after 7 years a body will have 6 times or 600% of the annual
absorption rate.
Given that the
Environment Agency have permitted an increase of 500%, a multiple
of 5,
the resulting levels compared to those pre-2002 resolve to 30 (6
x 5) times greater or an increase of 3,000%
