Summary

DETECTION OF SMALL QUANTITIES OF TRITIUM FREQUENTLY ENTAILS BUBBLING A TRITIUM VAPOR CONTAINING GAS STREAM THROUGH A LIQUID. WHEN VERY SMALL CONCENTRATIONS OF TRITIUM ARE PRESENT, THE LOWER LIMIT OF DETECTION MAY BE REDUCED BY DILUTION IN THE LIQUID. COLLECTION BY MEANS OF LIQUID NITROGEN COLD TRAPPING CAN LOWER THE DETECTION LIMIT. BY OBSERVING CERTAIN PRECAUTIONS, THIS METHOD CAN PROVIDE QUITE REPRODUCIBLE RESULTS AT HIGH EFFICIENCIES.
