Description

This paper describes the intercalibration of various dosimeters, devised to measure radon concentration using particle track detectors. The present work includes Box-type, Cup-type, Tube-type, Bare-type, and Circular-type dosimeters using CR-39 and CN-85 particle track detectors. Experiments have been carried out in a custom designed exposure chamber connected to a radon source. The calibration results, determined in terms of Bq/m3 with respect to Box-type dosimeter, are useful for intercomparison and standardization of measured radon concentrations by various types of passive radon dosimeters in various laboratories
