Re: Tritium Bubbler/collector

[LIPTONW@dteenergy.com]

We just purchased a tritium bubbler from Mound Techncial Solutions.  It
first 
draws the sample thru 3 vials of glycol, to collect tritiated water.  The 
sample then goes thru a heated catalyst, to oxidize HT and any organics, and 
then thru 3 more vials.  The two trains enable the separate determination of 
tritiated water and other forms of tritium, while redundant vials determine 
whether breakthru has occurred. We do not yet have this operational, but are 
very impressed with the quality and documentation of the equipment, and with 
the vendor's willingness to help us with the installation.   
 
The contact is:  Doug McClelland, at Mound Technical Solutions, phone

The opinions expressed are strictly mine. 
It's not about dose, it's about trust.
