This project aims to develop a range of products for 1) assessing levels of radioactivity in water which have previously been unachievable in real-time. 2) Measurement of Gaseous Tritium down to free release levels. This is of interest to various nuclear establishments, including the Nuclear Fusion industry.We already have a lot of interest from Japan where they have a legacy from the Fukashima nuclear facility was in the form of Tritiated water. Current technology means that samples have to be taken from effluent -- rivers, lakes & sea , then analysed in a Laboratory.BIC Technology with limited resources and working closely with the National Physical Laboratory have made prototypes capable of achieving detection of low levels of beta emitters in water continuously.Because of the design and build of the detector we are able to use the same device (patented technology) for measuring air samples & liquid samples with minor modifications.Assistance from Innovate UK will enable us to carry out further required tests for type testing & quantitative analysis. This could lead to the manufacturing of portable & installed equipment for this purpose and address an international market. We would get orders tomorrow if we had a working instrument at the required low levels.Nuclear licensed sites would benefit from long term cost savings of the current technology employed by these sites and provide instant alerts for emergency situations e.g. leakage in to the sea or water table.BIC Technology already have strong links with Academic institutions, which we would hope to expand on by funding post graduate projects. The project will have a positive effect on employment & apprenticeships with benefits to UK suppliers \*

该项目旨在开发一系列产品，用于 1) 评估水中的放射性水平，这在以前是无法实时实现的。 2) 测量气态氚至游离释放水平。这引起了包括核聚变工业在内的各种核设施的兴趣。日本已经对我们产生了很大的兴趣，他们从福岛核设施中获得了氚化水的遗产。目前的技术意味着必须从污水（河流、湖泊和海洋）中采集样本，然后在实验室中进行分析。BIC Technology 在资源有限的情况下与国家物理实验室密切合作，制造出了能够实现低水平 β 检测的原型。由于检测器的设计和构造，我们能够使用相同的设备（专利技术）来测量空气样本和液体样本，只需稍加修改。Innovate UK 的协助将使我们能够进行进一步所需的测试对于类型测试和定量分析。这可能会导致为此目的制造便携式和安装式设备并开拓国际市场。如果我们有一个处于所需低水平的工作仪器，我们明天就会收到订单。核许可站点将受益于这些站点所采用的当前技术的长期成本节约，并为紧急情况（例如，紧急情况）提供即时警报。泄漏到海洋或地下水位。BIC Technology 已经与学术机构建立了牢固的联系，我们希望通过资助研究生项目来扩大这种联系。该项目将对就业和学徒制产生积极影响，并使英国供应商受益\*
