Helium-3 mass spectrometry for low-level tritium analysis of environmental samples
Conference
·
OSTI ID:10127795
Helium-3 ({sup 3}He) mass spectrometry for the analysis of low-level tritium ({sup 3}H) concentrations in environmental sample matrices was compared with conventional low-level {beta}-decay counting methods. The mass-spectrometry method compared favorably, equaling or surpassing conventional decay-counting methods with respect to most criteria. Additional research and method refinements may make {sup 3}He mass spectrometry the method of choice for routine, low-level to very-low-level {sup 3}H measurements in a wide variety of environmental samples in the future.
