Abstract
Three methods for the measurement of the radon activity concentration were compared in a series of measurements in the Slovak and Czech Republics. Two methods were based on solid-state nuclear track detectors, TASTRAK (PADC) and RamaRn (LR 115), the third method was based on a semiconductor detector (Airthings Corentium Home). Seven sites were selected for comparison, the measurements were carried out in 21 rooms in total. The comparison shows agreement in the results within the range of uncertainties in the majority of measurements.
期刊介绍:
Radiation Physics and Chemistry is a multidisciplinary journal that provides a medium for publication of substantial and original papers, reviews, and short communications which focus on research and developments involving ionizing radiation in radiation physics, radiation chemistry and radiation processing.
The journal aims to publish papers with significance to an international audience, containing substantial novelty and scientific impact. The Editors reserve the rights to reject, with or without external review, papers that do not meet these criteria. This could include papers that are very similar to previous publications, only with changed target substrates, employed materials, analyzed sites and experimental methods, report results without presenting new insights and/or hypothesis testing, or do not focus on the radiation effects.
