Dear Lawrence,
Regarding 3H NMR, a good source of information is the web page
of the National Tritium Labeling Facility at the Lawrence Berkeley
Laboratory (http://www.lbl.gov/LBL-Programs/NTLF/).
This will direct you to many more recent references on 3H NMR. In
particular the following reference gives some good sample handing
info : "Applications of High Resolution 3H NMR Spectroscopy", P.G.
Williams, Fusion Technol., 14, 840-844 (1988).

hope this helps,

Tom O'C.
