Radon production in pumping wells

Creators

Description

A simple conceptual model of radon production in wells pumping water from fractured crystalline bedrock has been examined analytically. The fracture serves as a radon exposed conduit for 'clean' water originally derived from an overlying layer of saprolite. The analytical solutions provide insight into the nature of radon production, but are not yet adequate for predictive use
