Access to any potentially contaminated area for maintenance during a shutdown is strictly monitored, particularly by first hand monitoring for traces of airborne tritium
AM Sensors says it has seen increased demand for its portable tritium samplers over the summer months, to meet the requirements of power plant shutdown maintenance work in particular Access to any potentially contaminated area for maintenance during a shutdown is strictly monitored, particularly by first hand monitoring for traces of airborne tritium

Aqueous solution conductivity determined precisely
The new Model 3084 from Amber Science is a bench top, line powered, micro-processor based conductivity instrument designed to precisely determine the conductivity of aqueous solutions.
AM Sensors has developed a portable sampler kit, which can be used alongside the maintenance workforce, sampling the air in the environment.
The air is sampled and passed through a bubbler system into a solution that traps the tritium particles that are normally carried in moisture vapour.
Typically the chemist monitoring the maintenance crew samples the liquid in the trap every half hour, to determine the exposure level and maintain updated radiation records.
AM Sensors provides a complete line of radiation monitoring equipment, using fixed and portable air sampling systems.
