Abstract

Abstract At the beginning of the year 2016, the representatives of the Polish Radon Centre decided to organize proficiency tests (PTs) for measurements of radon gas and radon decay products in the air, involving radon monitors and laboratory passive techniques. The Silesian Centre for Environmental Radioactivity of the Central Mining Institute (GIG), Katowice, became responsible for the organization of the PT exercises. The main reason to choose that location was the radon chamber in GIG with a volume of 17 m3, the biggest one in Poland. Accordingly, 13 participants from Poland plus one participant from Germany expressed their interest. The participants were invited to inform the organizers about what types of monitors and methods they would like to check during the tests. On this basis, the GIG team prepared the proposal for the schedule of exercises, such as the required level(s) of radon concentrations, the number and periods of tests, proposed potential alpha energy concentration (PAEC) levels and also the overall period of PT. The PT activity was performed between 6th and 17th June 2016. After assessment of the results, the agreement between radon monitors and other measurement methods was confirmed. In the case of PAEC monitors and methods of measurements, the results of PT exercises were consistent and confirmed the accuracy of the calibration procedures used by the participants. The results of the PAEC PTs will be published elsewhere; in this paper, only the results of radon intercomparison are described.

氡相互比较试验——卡托维兹，2016年

摘要2016年初，波兰氡中心的代表决定组织能力测试，以测量空气中的氡气和氡衰变产物，包括氡监测器和实验室被动技术。卡托维兹中央矿业研究所西里西亚环境放射性中心负责PT演习的组织工作。选择该位置的主要原因是GIG中体积为17 m3的氡室，是波兰最大的氡室。因此，来自波兰的13名与会者加上来自德国的一名与会者表达了他们的兴趣。参与者被邀请告知组织者他们希望在测试期间检查哪些类型的监视器和方法。在此基础上，GIG团队编制了演习时间表的提案，如所需的氡浓度水平、测试次数和周期、拟议的潜在α能量浓度（PAEC）水平以及PT的整个周期。PT活动于2016年6月6日至17日进行。在对结果进行评估后，确认了氡监测仪与其他测量方法之间的一致性。在PAEC监测器和测量方法的情况下，PT练习的结果是一致的，并证实了参与者使用的校准程序的准确性。PAEC PT的结果将在其他地方公布；本文仅介绍氡相互比较的结果。
