The analysis was done by sampling coupons cut from the side of the vessel. Tests were performed to analyze the amount of residual tritium in the container wall, as well as the amount of tritium removed through exposure to moist air. Based on this data, the PC contained 62 curies of residual tritium. Air exposure and leaching of the coupons in aqua regia accounted for 27 curies. Recommendations are given for final processing of these containers in order to reduce the final tritium content
