Description

This work intends to discuss important parameters to be considered during the construction of a controlled radon chamber. Based on the review of different chambers, it was noticed that some characteristics such as size, shape, volume, and source activity are dependent on the chamber applications. Parameters such as aerosol generation, humidity, temperature and pressure inside the chamber are also discussed. A design of a multipurpose controlled radon chamber is suggested.
