AbstractIn work justification of need of the organization at the NPP "Bushehr-1" located in the Islamic Republic of Iran, essentially new system - tritium monitoring for the purpose of increase in safety of the NPP objects and equipment is given. This system should be an integral part of the NPP monitoring system located in a seismically active region. The main objective of tritium monitoring system has to consist in ensuring constant control of special pipelines integrity at the NPP in real time. Regulations of the organization of the tritium monitoring service should be developed and enshrined in the normative documents.
KeywordsIslamic Republic of Iran, "Bushehr" NPP, tritium monitoring, intelligent radiometer, ultra-low-background liquid scintillation spectrometer
