Description

A method of determination of radon traces in the atmosphere is described. The value of the maximum determination sensitivity is 10-12 curie/l, that is 1/10 of the tolerance dose. The apparatus employed includes an ionization chamber and a direct current amplifier. Reprint of a paper published in Journal de Physique et le Radium, T. 15, No. 5, suppl., May 1954, p. 78A-80A.

Abstract (French)

On decrit une methode de dosage de traces de radon dans l'atmosphere. La sensibilite maximum de dosage est de 10-12 curie/1, soit 1/10e de la dose de tolerance. L'appareillage de mesure utilise comprend une chambre d'ionisation et un amplificateur a courant continu. Reproduction d'un article publie dans le Journal de Physique et le Radium, T. 15, No. 5, suppl., mai 1954, p. 78A-80A.
