Tritium monitoring in water resources near critical infrastructure, can verify compliance with safety regulations and assess potential radiological impacts on the public. Crucially, these measurements also provide valuable information about the integrity of water sources, including their age, primary source, the effectiveness of natural barriers protecting groundwater, and their susceptibility to recent surface contamination. The proposed side event is set to delve into these applications, presenting relevant case studies. It will also provide an up-to-date overview of tritium monitoring efforts specifically in the waters surrounding Fukushima, offering valuable context and lessons learned from that region. This event is organized by Italy.

This event will be held on Wednesday, 17 September 2025, from 12.30 p.m. to 1.30 p.m. in Conference Room M5, M Building, ground floor.
