Abstract

Disclosed herein are devices and methods for measuring tritium production. For example, disclosed herein are devices comprising a first layer and a second layer, each comprising a detection material, and the thickness the layers being configured such that tritium cannot pass therethrough. When a lithium composition is substantially contained within a chamber formed by the first and second layers, and a neutron irradiation source irradiates the lithium composition disposed within the chamber; then the device produces tritium within the chamber that diffuses to the first layer and/or the second layer, and the tritium interacts with the first detection material and/or the second detection material to thereby form a signal that is detected and analyzed to determine a property of tritium, such as the presence or absence of tritium production, the amount or concentration of tritium produced, the rate of tritium production, or a combination thereof.
