Measurement of 222Rn in water
Description
A measurement of 222Rn in water, liquid scintillation counting of radon extracted with toluene, was improved. The equation in the previous calculation was derived by the underestimation of radon solubility in toluene. The applicable calculation of radon concentration was proposed using mole fraction form and thermodynamic solubility equations. Also, weight measurement was used instead of volume measurement. These made the experimental operations easier and improved temperature dependence of the radon concentration in calculation. (author)
