Emanation of radon from solid samples

  • 1. Institute of Physics and Nuclear Techniques, Cracow (Poland)

Description

The possibility of measuring the radon emanation coefficient from solid samples is described. A simple mathematical model is used to calculate the specific surface area of the sample. Measurement is done in a closed chamber with air circulation. An electrostatic filter removes the radon decay products measured with an alpha spectrometer. (author). 9 refs, 2 figs, 1 tab
