This paper presents distribution and seasonal variations of tritium, radioactive isotope of hydrogen, in Sava River in Belgrade. Tritium besides its natural origin also has an artificial origin, through human activity including the operation of nuclear power plants, nuclear weapons manufacturing and atomic bomb tests. Knowing the concentration of tritium in the Sava River in Belgrade is important because it is located downstream from the Krško Nuclear Power Plant in Slo venia. Analysis of tritium concentrations in surface water samples were done in composite monthly samples during 2017-2022. Tritium activity was determined by liquid scintillation spectrometer using electrolytic enrichment. Seasonal var iations were estimated by determination of average monthly concentrations and seasonal indices.
