Description

In the article is presented the proposal of express method for evaluation of radium concentration in building material. The method is based on estimation function of time dependence of achievement of equilibrium radon daughter products radioactivity with the 226Ra. The obtained results from one selected sample of building material (porous concrete brick) show, that estimation of radium concentration on acceptable confidence level is possible obtain during some days.
