A SIMPLE LEAK DETECTOR FOR TRITIUM

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4748518

An ionization chamber of the integrating type was built that could detect a tritium leak rate of 10/sup -13/ cc per second within a few minutes, after a gas-collecting period of 16 hr. Electronlc circuitry was avoided by using a quartz fiber voltmeter to indicate the rnte of discharge of the chamber. (auth)
