Abstract
Nuclear track detection, scintillation counter surface monitoring, and radon assaying have been used to locate sites of low-level 226Ra contamination in a radon laboratory. Procedures instituted to contain the radon emanated from this contamination have been effective to the extent of a 7-fold reduction in the air-borne radon concentration in the laboratory.
