We have developed an air monitor which is possible to measure rapidly and sensitively the concentration of plutonium for the environmental monitoring at an accident of a nuclear reprocessing plant. The monitor is designed to collect airborne plutonium by drawing the ambient air through a filter and to detect the activity by alpha spectroscopy. The following two methods are equipped with the monitor: continuous measurement at atomospheric pressure and batch measurement at vacuum. The description of the air monitor and the results of performance test are reported.
