DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/7194402· OSTI ID:7194402
A method of measuring low level tritium in liquid samples has been investigated. The water containing the tritium oxide is vaporized in a heated ion chamber, and a vibrating reed electrometer is used as the current measuring instrument. With a one liter ion chamber operated at 80{degree}C, the sensitivity is 1.3 {doteq} 0.3 mv {ital string} min per microcuria/liter.
