THE DETERMINATION OF TRITIUM AS WATER VAPOUR IN A GEIGER-MULLER COUNTER
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4198680
The concentration of tritium in water and in heavy water has been detenmined by the method due to Cameron Tritiated water vapor is ndxed with the filling gas of a Geiger-Mueller counter. A concentration of 0.02 mu c/g of tritium as HTO can be determined with an accuracy of better than 10% in a counting period of 60 min. The system is calibrated using a standard solution of tritium in light water. The limitations of the system as an absolute method are considered. In the case of tritium in heavy water, there is some additional error due to uncertainty in isotopic fractionation. (auth)
