Report
The need of real-time devices for measuring volcanic and seismic signals
- 1. Instituto Nacional de Investigaciones Nucleares, Mexico City (Mexico)
Description
Radon emanation measurements in Mexican volcanic and seismic regions have been carried out since 1980. Radon stations are mainly located near the active volcanoes and along the Ocean Pacific coast were tectonic plaques produce most of the earthquakes in Mexico. Data has been collected by means of plastic passive detectors, automatic passive radon monitor, scintillation counters and recently with active solid state detectors. Developments and or adaptations of passive and active monitors have been necessary due to the lack of commercially existence, specially in the early days. (author). 20 refs, 4 figs
