Abstract
THE concentration of tritium in water samples has been measured by a new method which is both simple and rapid. The beta-rays of very low energy which are emitted by tritium are very difficult to count because of their inability to penetrate the windows of conventional Geiger counters. It has therefore been the practice for some time to introduce the tritium in various chemical combinations into the interior of a counter.
