Activated graphite, e.g. from graphite moderated reactors contains several radioactive isotopes like 14C, 36Cl, or 3H. For the final disposal of such material a quantitative characterization is demanded. We are aiming for a system which enables automated measurements using the AMS technique with gaseous samples for the above mentioned isotopes. The aimed system should provide a high sample throughput as well as the possibility of sample dilution in cases of high activity. At CologneAMS, a new gas-interface was built and tested for 14C measurements which uses a syringe for the transport of the sample gas into the ion source and a separate reservoir which can be used for high dilution. An advantage over the already established procedure using Liquid Scintillation Counting (LSC) is that the setup at the CologenAMS does not need elaborate chemical sample preparation and has a sensitivity down to 3· 10−9Bq/g. In this contribution we will present the layout of our systems as well as the stage of realisation. Supported by BMBF under contract number 15S9410B.
