Measurement of 222Rn flux with charcoal canisters
Description
A new method for determining the rate of 222Rn (radon) emanation from a surface is described. A modified U.S. Army M11 gas mask canister containing activated charcoal is sealed to the surface for several hours to several days, depending on the anticipated flux. The amount of radon adsorbed in the charcoal canister is determined by counting gamma emission from radon daughters in equilibrium with the radon. Details of the canister calibration and the parameters that affect the measurements of radon flux using activated charcoal canisters are described
