Abstract :
Tritiated water vapour in a sample air stream is collected in a water stream and measured in a scintillation flow counter. One ¿Ci/m3 can be detected with a response time constant of several minutes. The instrument, engineered for unattended operation, is insensitive to other airborne radionuclides, gamma radiation, and humidity variation.
