In the process of sea water concentration for the analysis of environmental radioactivity, a water removing method using an ultrasonic nebulizer was proposed instead of the conventional process that requires long precipitation time. It took only 2.5 hours to remove the moisture from 15 L of sea water with the proposed method, whereas the conventional method requires at least 24 hours for precipitation. From the results of the gamma-ray spectrums of the concentrated samples, the validity of the proposed method was verified.
