Tritium measurement in nuclear waste is a key to determine the type of repository. This technical note describes the methodology used to validate tritium measurement in various matrices using pyrolysis method with a new instrument available in the market. The efficiency obtained for tritium recovery in aqueous matrix, oil and concrete are respectively higher than 95%, 93%, and 85%.
