Abstract

An apparatus for natural tritium concentration measurement using an ethane-filled proportional counter with anticoincidence shielding is described. The counter characteristics and the counter calibration with internal tritium and external137Cs standards are discussed. Results of tritium analysis of Bratislava rains are presented.
