摘要: Tritium real-time measurement in glovebox or workplace is important to ensure safe operation of tritium. A novel tritium monitor system including an open-walled ionization chamber, an electrometer and an IPC (Industrial Personal Computer) has been developed to measure tritium in gaseous form. Using mesh walls, instead of sealed wall, the open-walled ionization chamber has less tritium absorption and lower memory effect. In addition, tritium gas can diffuse into the chambers sensitive region without the assistant of sampling system and ion trap, which are installed at the front-end of commonly used flow-through ionization chambers. Background signal of this monitor system is about 3.7105 Bq/m3, and after exposed to tritium concentration at about 1011 Bq/m3 for 4h, background of the monitor can recover after purging it several times with dry air. It is suitable for longtime tritium measurements in both glovebox and workplace.
