Greetings from Steve Schrammel , Milwaukee WI USA
I'd like to monitor the environment for tritium, since no one else will.
There has been 5 meltdowns in my lifetime and since this is a once in
250,000 year occurrence, it needs to be monitored.
Please help me set up a practical liquid scintillator for the job
Thanks
liquid scintillation

Re: liquid scintillation
Hi Steve,
Welcome on this forum.
Question; Why a liquid scintillator and what type of scintillator would you have in mind?
I would use a simple plastic scintillator , large slaps are relative cheap easy to handle, disadvantage only good for counting
but most liquids are that too, unless you want to measure Nuetrons with it, but plastic is great for simple gamma counting!

Re: liquid scintillation
The penetrating power is too low for solids.
