Creators

  • 1. National Inst. of Radiation Hygiene, Osteras (Norway)

Description

The thoron daughter to radon daughter ratios in mines are discussed. Measurements of the ratio in Norwegian mines are presented, and these results are compared to results obtained in Canadian uranium mines. Where the concentration of Th-232 in rock is high, the thoron daughters may dominate the doses to the miners
