Comment:
Water for tritium analysis was collected in 500 ml plastic bottles. Contact of the sampled water with air or light was avoided. Samples were taken from precipitation, lakes, rivers and groundwater from open dug wells and pumped boreholes. The analyses were done by liquid scintillation counting (LSC) method with a detection limit is 0.1 TU.
