I was recently asked by my supervisor to explore the possibility of doing
enriched tritium analysis. I confess total ignorance and am hoping to get some
information through RADSAFE. First of all, why would anyone need to see such
low levels of tritium, what information is gained? Is there a reference for the
technique? What equipment would be needed and what might the startup costs be?
We do standard tritium analysis and have a Packard LS counter. Is anything more
elaborate needed? As you can see, any information you can shed would be
helpful. Thanks.
