  1. A Kinetic Model of theLong Term Dose Relevant Carbon Bound Tritium By Re-Evaluation of Known Kinetic Data Franz Baumgaertner Institut fuer Radiochemie Technische Universitaet Munich

  2. Organically Bound Tritium Tissue Free Water Tritium Kinetic OBT- and TFWT-measurements answer the question. • 1. Hydroponic HTO growth of maize & barley (Bgt & MA. Kim 1995 ) • 2. HTO exposure of tomatoes (F.S. Spencer 1984) • HTO exposure of mussels (S.B. Kim & T.Yankovich & 2004) • 4. H2O exposure of HTO grown mussels (S.B.Kim & T. Yankovich 2005)

  3. Growth of maize (Zea mays “velox“) 20% larger growth rate and 5 times larger yield of OBT than the carrier OBH cast doubt on the bio-synthesis of the carbon bound tritium, as a tracer, CBT= OBT? Dry weight 20% OBH OBT 5x OBH Accidental case? Franz Baumgärtner, Maria-Anna Kim, Fusion Technology Vol. 28 (1995) 814-820. Franz Baumgärtner, Maria-Anna Kim, Appl.Radiat.Isot. Vol. 48 (1997) 721-725.

  4. The accidental case by abrupt HTO exposure after 21 and 26 days tritium free growth: 21 days Conclusion: there exists an unknown rapid OBT formation. “Rapid OBT“ found by other authors? 8 h rapid OBT! 26 days 24 h rapid OBT! Within 8h an OBT rise of 15 days growth with HTO F. Baumgärtner, W. Donhaerl, Anal Bioanal Chem (2004) 379: 204-209 Franz Baumgärtner, Fusion Science & Technology Vol 48 (2005) 787-790

  5. F.S.Spencer, Report No 84-69-K, Ontario Hydro 1984 “Tritiated Water Uptake Kinetics in Tissue-Free Water and Organically Bound Fractions of Tomato Plants.” * buried: means non-accessible by the rinsing solvent. 14 to 16-weeks old plants, atmospheric HTO exposure. Figure constructed with TFWT, OBT Data in Appendix 1. TFWT endpointarrived after 10h OBT TFWT also OBT endpoint “rapid OBT“ concurrently occurs with TFWT and “rapid OBT“ halts with TFWT! 63d 7d 35d OBT = X-atomsBoundTritium =“buried* tritium in OBT“ rapid OBT

  6. The OBT Categories of Tomatoe Foliage 336h =14d OBT = CBT+XBT XBT OBT = XBT

  7. Mussel Transplantation Scenario: T.Yankovich & S.B.Kim,Chalk River Laboratories 2004.. Barnes mussels were transplanted from Ontario River to Perch Lake. Ottawa River <10Bq/LOttawa River→~4.500Bq/LPerch Lake Chalk River Laboratories

  8. Barnes Mussel Transplantation: By Tamara Yankovich, Sang Bog Kim. Chalk River Laboratories, 2004, Endpointarrived after 2h A B TFWT 2 rapid OBT formations OBT OBT(B)= X2BT OBT(A)=X1BT

  9. The OBT Categories of Mussel Transplantation Scenario. Biological growth Biological Growth-products emission OBT=CBT + X3BT OBT(night) = XBT OBT(B) = X2BT OBT(A) = X1BT X1BT = (instantaneous) OBT (outside cells) X2BT = (inside cells) OBT

  10. Hofmeister Series dismantles biological structures without destroying the constituting chemical compounds. (Hofmeister 1850-1922 The analytical OBT value is a variable Applied “Hofmeister Series“: 6m Urea, 10% Tri-Chlor- Acetic Acid, 1m LiCl. OBT = CBT + XBT(buried)

  11. If OBT = CBT +XBT(buried) Long term dose relevant CBT = OBT XBT(buried)  Dry Biological Matter combustion OBT [Bq/mL] + [mL/g] Rinsing Hofmeister Treatment Proteins:Guanidinium-CL, (plants KOH? non elaborated!) Vhofmeister[mL/g] Monitoring endpoint ! Water Fraction Bio - Fraction XBT yield shows: long term dose relevant CBT << OBT

  12. The yield of exchangeable XBTburied by the “Depuration Scenario“ Sang Bog Kim & T. Yankovich, 2005: published during EMRAS 1 Barnes mussels born and lifelong (>10 years) in Perch Lake (4.500Bq/L) were transplanted to Upper Bass Lake (50Bq/L). Ottawa River Chalk River Laboratories 4.500 Bq/LH2O →50 Bq/LH2O

  13. Transplantation Scenario abrupt HTO increase Depuration Scenario HTO take off XBH + TOH XBT + HOH Evaluation of XBT yield needs comparisionXBH/XBT rapid return, X1BH XBH XBH XBH OBT Measurements in Logarithmic Time Scale Measurements in Linear Time Scale CBT CBT << OBT

  14. Mean Sigma of 14 measurements <1% of measured values! Table 1: Summary of OBT concentrations measured in mussel soft tissues following transplantation from Perch Lake (a lake that has received chronic, low-level tritium inputs over time) to Upper Bass Lake (a lake with significantly lower tritium concentrations). Duplicate measurements are provided where available. n.a. – not available * - please note that the final time point should be 117 days, as opposed to 115 days (which you included in your earlier email).

  19. ETB-07-147 (Revision 0) 2007 July 25 TO: Franz Baumgartner FROM: T.L. Yankovich and S.B. Kim CC: P. Davis Hi Franz. Hope all is well with you and your family. As requested, please find appended the table containing the measured data for the Dynamic Perch Lake Tritium Mussel Depuration Scenario to fill in the column of the table you sent by email earlier today. Both myself and Sang Bog Kim are very interested in collaborating with you on a publication and look forward to working with you on this! Also, as we plan to publish these data, it would be great if you could let us know prior to using the data for any other documents than the publication we produce together. Thanks for your interest and please feel free to drop me a note if you require any additional information. All the Best! Tamara.
