By tapping into tritium’s innate radioactive properties, City Labs has unlocked a robust and enduring energy source that underpins the functionality of NanoTritium™ batteries, enabling them to provide uninterrupted power for a variety of applications, from remote sensing to medical implants.
Containing Beta Particles: Safety and Precautions
While it’s true that emitted beta particles have relatively low energy and are incapable of penetrating human skin, it’s essential to implement comprehensive safety protocols to mitigate any potential health risks associated with tritium exposure. Exposure to tritium through ingestion, inhalation, or prolonged external contact can still pose significant hazards to human health.
Therefore, it’s imperative to adopt rigorous safety measures to safeguard against any unintended exposure. Radiation protection measures, such as the application of minimal coatings or encapsulation, play a critical role in blocking tritium’s radiation and ensuring the safe handling and utilization of NanoTritium™ batteries. These protective layers act as effective barriers, preventing the escape of beta particles and minimizing the risk of radiation exposure to individuals and the environment.
Additionally, adherence to stringent safety guidelines and regulations, coupled with ongoing monitoring and training programs, further enhances the overall safety protocols associated with the use of tritium-based technologies. By prioritizing safety at every stage of development, production, and deployment, City Labs reaffirms our commitment to providing innovative, safe, and sustainable energy solutions for a wide range of applications.
