Description:

The Model 200SB is a low-cost, lightweight, portable tritium in air monitor.  A rapid warmup, high-volume rotary vane pump, and fast electronics combine to give this tritium monitor a very quick overall response time of just 5 seconds or less.  The Model 200SB uses two coaxial 200cc ionization chambers, one for measurement and one for gamma compensation.  The 200SB is our economy model, with medium sensitivity, a wide range, and very fast response.  Particularly useful as an emergency tritium monitor due to compact size and rapid warmup and response.

Power is supplied by a pair of “D” size alkaline batteries.  Onset of the battery depletion is signaled by illumination of an LED located next to the meter face.  A nine-position alarm level stepped attenuator, adjustable over partial scale (.01 – 5%) is located on the front panel.  A steady tone is emitted by an acoustic signaler if the measurement exceeds the alarm set-point (illuminates red LED), or if the sample airflow has been interrupted and is too low (illuminates yellow LED).  The alarms are non-latching.

Zero adjustment is unnecessary, the electrometer is completely temperature stable and shows zero drift from 0° C to 50° C due to special design and careful selection of an ultra-high impedance semiconductor with low internal current leakage and long-term DC stability.  The 200SB can reliably measure currents as low as 10-16 amperes and the span calibration is permanently stable.  The ionization chamber polarizing voltage is supplied by an electronic low-noise regulated dual high-voltage power supply (±80VDC).  The 200SB includes proprietary radon recognition and elimination circuitry to provide accurate, fast, and drift-free measurement.

Starve nuclear weapons to death with a tritium freeze

Proponents of nuclear non-proliferation will be pleased in late 2020 as the 2017 Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) crosses the threshold of 50 ratifications and enters into force. Under this treaty, it will be illegal to hold nuclear weapons, and the parties will have to dismantle any in their possession. The problem with the TPNW approach is that no state that actually possesses nuclear weapons has signed it or is likely to. An alternative to this ‘all-or-nothing’ approach is needed—a freeze on the production of tritium is a different way to manage nuclear disarmament that will gradually bring an end to nuclear weapons. Tritium and its critical role in nuclear weapons  Tritium is a radioactive isotope of hydrogen (hydrogen-3). It is used in the nuclear weapon systems of most of the five nuclear weapon states (NWS)—China, France, the United Kingdom, the United States and Russia—today to ‘boost’ the yield of a fission weapon or fission primary. It is important to n...

Passive Tritium/C-14 Air Samplers

  Features: Ultra-reliable tritium air sampler Includes mass flow air control for consistent, precise sampling Collects both HT and HTO with cascaded vials to ensure virtually 100% collection efficiency Thermal oxidizer with a temperature indicator to convert HT to HTO, regulated range 455 – 475 °C Standard flow rate sensitivity for  3 H: 10 -9  µCi/ml (10 -9  Ci/m 3 ) for 7-day period at 100 ml/min High flow rate sensitivity for  3 H: 10 -9  µCi/ml (10 -9  Ci/m 3 ) for 24-hour period at 1 L/min Description: The Model TASC-HT-HTO is a high-quality and reliable passive tritium in air sampler.  Airborne tritium in the sample stream is continuously collected in vials filled with a liquid collection medium (water or glyocol).  The amount trapped increases linearly with elapsed time.  At regular intervals, the sampling is stopped, the contents removed and assayed using liquid scintillation counting to determine the amount of radioactivity co...
