Abstract :
An ionization chamber consisting of two active volumes in a single enclosure and an auto range changing electrometer covering a dynamic range of 108 are discussed. The tritium monitor is designed to have a reduced sensitivity to tritium contamination, to have a fast response, and to be useful for tritium concentrations of a few ¿Ci/m3 to 108 ¿Ci/m3.
