Azevedo, C.D.R.; Baeza, A.; Chauveau, E.; Corbacho, J.A.; Díaz, J.; Domange, J.; Marquet, C.; Martínez-Roig, M.; Piquemal, F.; Roldán, C.; Vasco, J.In the TRITIUM project, an on-site monitoring system is being developed to measure tritium (3H) levels in water near nuclear power plants. The quite low-energy betas emitted by 3H have a very short average path in water (5 μm as shown by simulations for 18 keV electrons). This path would be further reduced by impurities present in the water, resulting in a significant reduction of the detection efficiency. Ther...
Simulation results on a real-time in water tritium monitor
Azevedo, C. D. R.; Baeza, A.; Chauveau, E.; Corbacho, J. A.; Díaz, J.; Domange, J.; Marquet, C.; Martínez-Roig, M.; Piquemal, F.; Veloso, J. F. C. A.In this work we present simulation results for a modular tritium in-water real-time monitor. The system allows for scalability in order to achieve the required sensitivity. The modules are composed by 340 uncladed scintillating fibers immersed in water and 2 photosensors for light readout. Light yield and Birks' coefficient uncertainties for low energy beta particles is discussed. A study of the detection effic...
