If You Have Tritium In Water and Oil Mixtures: We Recommend This Strategy For Measurement Of Tritium
STRATEGY
Tritium is radioactive hydrogen, and hydrogen atoms regularly jump or exchange between different adjacent molecules.
In a mixture of normal water mixed with tritiated oil, both components will, over time, share the Tritium equally.
In LIQUID Samples, this allows a separation strategy, in which we,
-
- 1. Pull a sample from the mixture
-
- 2. Run this sample through an oil-water separator
-
- 3. Collect the relatively clean water
-
- 4. Pull this water into the SSS-33M81 tritium measurement flow cell
-
- 5. Get a good reading
Without contaminating or degrading the cell
In GASEOUS Samples, the same principles apply.
1. A vapor separation system is utilized.
2. A PTG-9 Tritium Measurement Ion Chamber is used to make the measurements.
