Abstract

The tritium compounds, tritiated water as a volatile compound and 3H-methionine as a non-volatile compound, were measured with two types of plastic scintillators (PSs) using a low background liquid scintillation counter (LSC). It is advantage that minimal organic waste is generated when a plastic scintillator is used for LSC measurement. The effect of large vials on counting efficiency, plasma effects with three types of plasma devices for PS-sheets, the effect of UV-light on PS-pellets, the relationship between the activity and the count rate, and the detection limits of tritium were studied with respect to the development of large-scale measurement systems.
