You might want to contact either Ken Hofstetter or Paula
Cable at the Savannah River Technology Center (SRTC).
They're working on a field portable "near real-time" tritium in
water system.  Detection limit is < 1,000 pCi/l with fairly
short (i.e. minutes) count times. 

E-mail addresses are Ken.Hofstetter@srs.gov or
Paula.Cable@srs.gov.

So, what was the answer to this? Is there a real-time
analysis for  tritium. I have one in mind, was wondering if
anyone had ever thought of  it before. In situ.
