The invention discloses an on-site calibration device of an airborne tritium monitoring instrument. The on-site calibration device of the airborne tritium monitoring instrument comprises an air processor, a bubbling unit, a transmission instrument, an aspirator pump and a recovery unit, all of which are sequentially connected, wherein the air processor is used for filtering and drying inlet air, the bubbling unit is used for bubbling tritiated water to form saturated tritium flow, the transmission instrument is used for being connected with a calibrated detection instrument and measuring the activity and concentration of the tritium flow generated on site, the aspirator pump is used for pumping the tritium flow into the recovery unit for recovery after the activity and concentration of the tritium flow generated on site are detected, and the recovery unit is used for cooling and recovering the recovered tritium flow. The ranges of the activity and concentration of the tritium flow generated by the on-site calibration device of the airborne tritium monitoring instrument in a bubbling mode depend on the total activity of the tritium flow for bubbling and can meet the calibration of most existing nuclear facilities using the measuring span of the tritium monitoring instrument. The uncertainty of the synthesis standard of the activity and concentration of the bubbled tritium flow is less than or equal to 10 percent, and the recovery rate of the tritiated water vapor by the recovery unit is more than 99 percent.
