Conclusions
1. The basic parameters of the USS-1 have been measured as regards the assay of tritium in organic compounds.
2. The efficiency of the USS-1 for tritium has been determined by the use of a gas Geiger counter as 18 ±2%.
3. The errors of measurement in tritium measurement with the USS-1 have been estimated.
