The measurement of radon emanation rates using activated charcoal
Description
The use of charcoal canisters in the measurement of radon emanation rates from surfaces is discussed. The counting efficiency of the canisters is dependent upon the volume of activated charcoal used, varying from approximately 0.7% for a full canister to 1.3% for a canister filled to only 1/3 of its capacity. The inclusion of Si-Gel desiccant reduces the radon collection efficiency of the canister
