LRAD radon test results

Description
Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) personnel recently tested Long-Range Alpha Detection (LRAD) technology for radon and radon daughter response in the calibration chamber at DOE Grand Junction Project Office (GJPO), Colorado. Radon concentrations ranged over almost four decades, from 0.1 to 320 pCi/L. Particulate levels were also varied, from almost 0 to > 2,000 particles per cc. The data indicate LRAD based detectors have an almost immediate and linear response to radon gas concentration over this entire test range. These data indicate LRAD based detectors have potential as fast, rugged, sensitive radon gas and working level monitors. The authors will present technological improvements in LRAD based radon and working level detectors currently being tested at LANL
