Abstract

The main purpose of this paper was to determine tritium concentration in surface water samples, using liquid scintillation counting. Surface water samples were collected from the Mlaka creek on three different locations near PC "Nuclear Facilities of Serbia". The importance of tritium monitoring around nuclear reactors and nuclear waste storages is due to prevention of possible internal exposure through ingestion of drinking waters with elevated levels of tritium from existing water supply in their nearby. Tritium concentrations that have been measured during the period from 2017 to 2022 ranged from less than 2 Bq/L to 103 Bq/L.
