Horace, It is not possible to get an exposure in a vacuum from degassing species using the same exposure time as with atmospheric pressure gas. This is not even a close call. The exposure times are way too long. The radioactive species gets immediately evacuated. Do you have a reference

A thought follows about the nature of the compartment, i.e. volume, close to the film, and its importance to experimental controls. The following is a simple diffusion model of the compartment close to the film. Pd---T_in-compartment--- T_out + gas_out ^

Horace, This is a nonsensical model of the process and certainly *not* one implied by me. Well - playing devil's advocate once again, if tritium were coming off in the vacuum exhaust in well-equipped labs, it would set off a warning - but maybe they did not have any such precaution...
