水素で希釈したトリチウムとヘリウムで希釈したトリチウムについて、組成比一定の条件で$$beta$$線誘起X線計測法による計数率とトリチウム分圧の関係を測定した。その結果、10kPa程度以下の全圧ではX線計数率はトリチウム分圧に比例していることを明らかにした。また、トリチウム分圧一定の条件の下でヘリウムを徐々に添加し、X線計数率の変化を調べ、10kPa程度以下の全圧ではX線計数率はトリチウム分圧のみに依存していることを明らかにした。今回の結果は、$$beta$$線誘起X線計測法が核融合炉のトリチウムプロセスシステム、例えばブランケットのトリチウム回収システムにおけるトリチウム分圧測定に有望な手法になることを示すものである。

In this work, the counting rate of bremsstrahlung X-rays was measured against the tritium partial pressure in two mixed gases diluted with helium or hydrogen. Subsequently, the counting rate was also measured against total pressure for T$$_{2}$$-He mixture at a constant tritium partial pressure of 93 Pa or 1.3 kPa. For both mixtures, the counting rate of bremsstrahlung X-rays decreased linearly with the decreasing tritium partial pressure when the total pressure is smaller than about 10 kPa. At higher pressures, the deviation from the linear relationship appeared due to absorption of beta-particles in the gas phase, and this can be decreased by some commercially available arrangements. On the other hand, the counting rate of bremsstrahlung X-rays depended only upon the tritium partial pressure when absorption of beta-particles in the gas phase is negligibly small. The results obtained show that this method of tritium monitoring is very promising for the fuel processing system of fusion reactors, especially for tritium recovery system of breeding blankets.
