To assess the airborne radiation environment adequately for personnel working in such facilities, tritium monitoring instrumentation capable of determining the total radiological hazard present is required. This implies instrumentation that is capable of separately determining the airborne concentrations of different tritiated species. A laboratory prototype of an instrument that separately and simultaneously measures the concentrations of elemental tritium and tritiated water vapor in air has been in operation at the Chalk River Nuclear Laboratories (CRNL) since 1982. In 1983, Atomic Energy of Canada Limited Research Company (AECL-RC) and the Canadian Fusion Fuels Technology Project embarked on a collaborative program to develop a fully engineered version of this instrument suitable for application in an industrial environment. The engineered monitor described in this paper is the result of this collaborative effort.
