Tritium (T) distributions in Be limiter tiles used in 1st, 3rd or 1st-3rd JET ITER-like wall experimental campaign were examined. Outer poloidal limiter showed the highest T content and it increased with increasing plasma exposure time. On the other hand, T content in the upper or inner limiters were low and showed no systematic correlation with plasma exposure time. These results indicated that the inner and upper tiles were more affected by heat load from the plasma.
