Some remarks on exact methods for WL and 222Rn-daughter determination

Creators

  • 1. Argonne National Lab., IL

Description

For an exact determination of the three 222Rn-daughter concentrations (RaA, B and C) which properly weighted yield the Working Level, three equations relating observed counts (α or β) to these unknown concentrations have to be solved. The half-lives in the 222Rn decay series, the type of decay and the counting errors, limit the suitable set of equations. Some aspects of two such exact methods are discussed
