Abstract
The effect of background counts induced by α-particles mainly from Rn in air was removed by the attachment of a water-permselective membrane separator to a tritium stack monitor equipped previously. Water vapor, after permeating the membrane selectively, was carried by N2 gas into an ionization chamber where the activity of tritium was measured. The consumption of N2 gas for carrier was reduced by recycling the gas through dehumidification processes; (1) condensation by pressure, (2) condensation by refrigeration and (3) adsorption (by adsorbents), so that there is no added daily work arising from the attachment for maintenance of the tritium monitor.
