Tritium Surface Contamination Monitors Model FF-27

 



Features:

  • Quickly measure large, flat areas for tritium (and C-14) surface contamination
  • Sensitive Area: 100cm2 (6cm x 21.6cm)
  • Sensitivity: 100 Bq/100cm2, 35 CPS above background
  • Low gas consumption
  • Portable, lightweight design with long battery life
  • Audible and visible alarms, RS-232 data output

Description:

The Model FF-27 is an open-window gas proportional monitor for measuring tritium (and C-14) surface contamination on flat surfaces.  The FF-27 utilizes a large, rectangular windowless probe with 100cm2 sensitive area (6cm x 21.6cm) to quickly scan large areas, using poly tape to provide repeatable spacing from the surface as well smooth, scratch-free movement.  The poly tape is easily cleaned, but may also be replaced if contaminated.

P-10 counting gas is used in the FF-27.  It is non-combustible and can be used in any environment.  Two lecture cylinders for P-10 gas are included with the instrument but are shipped empty due to shipping restrictions.  P-10 gas use is minimized by careful design of the probe and by auto shut-off of gas flow when the ‘trigger’ on the probe handle is released.  Gas flow is typically set at 800 cc/min providing a total of one hour’s use for the lecture bottle size, or longer with a larger cylinder.  Typical counting efficiency is 70% 2pi of all tritium beta emissions escaping the surface.  An optional “Model H Face Plate” can be used which will help improve counting efficiency when measuring objects that aren’t completely flat, such as hands, clothing, and equipment.

Includes PRS-7 scaler/counter/analyzer, which is a digital display pulse counter that covers a 6-decade range (1-100,000 CPS or other unit of choice).  The PRS-7 is battery-powered, with an internal lithium cell and charger, and an external 12V AC power input.  The PRS-7 has a preamplifier with a built-in single-channel analyzer with two adjustable thresholds so that pulses may be selected by their pulse height and cancel out other noise.  It can also scale the counter display by a multiplier over a wide range, and the display can show both pulse rate and total pulse count, with a timer that will stop the counter after a preset interval.  Includes an adjustable high voltage power supply with a range of 200-2500 Volts, audible/visible alarms, and RS-232 data output.

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...
