Description/Abstract:
A SYSTEM TO PROVIDE CONTINUOUS MONITORING FOR ATMOSPHERIC CONCENTRATIO NS OF NOBLE GASES AND TRITIUM HAS BEEN OPERATED IN THE NEVADA TEST SIT E VICINITY SINCE 1972. THE FIELD SAMPLING SYSTEM WAS DESIGNED TO UTILI ZE THE ANALYTICAL CAPABILITIES AT THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY' S ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING AND SUPPORT LABORATORY IN LAS VEGAS. THIS R EPORT DESCRIBES THE NOBLE GAS SYSTEM WHICH PROVIDES SAMPLE COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS FOR RADIOKRYPTON, RADIOXENON, AND TRITIUM IN THE FORM OF METHANE, WITH DETECTION CAPABILITIES, AT THE TIME OF COUNT, OF ABOUT 2 PICOCURIES PER CUBIC METRE.
