MONITORING OF D$sub 2$O FOR TRITIUM CONTAMINATION

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4231425
A simple and rapid method for monitoring drums of D/sub 2/O for tritium contamination is described. DTO vapor above the heavy water surface is transferred to an ion chamber the resulting ion current being a measure of the specific activity of the D/sub 2/O. The apparatus described can detect concentrations of 0.1 mu c/g. (auth)
