Calibration of a dosimeter for detection of radon activity in air

  • 1. Dipartimento di Ingegneria Nucleare, Politecnico di Milano, Milan (Italy)

Description

The purpose of this work is to illustrate the calibration of a ionization chamber to be used for the calibration of a cellulose nitrate LRl 15 based dosimeter for radon gas monitoring. During the work the radon was obtain from a source of radium salt of few tens kBq of activity. The calibration factor obtained for the ionization chamber is 3,77xlO15 ± 0.32x1015 Bq/m3 A. For what concern the dosimeter the calibration factor is 4,7xlO-4 ± 1.5x10-4 tr/cm2/Bq·h/m3
