Abstract
To investigate radon migration in the ground a series of measurements have been made along a profile of 160 m length. The radon concentration was measured in the soil at different depths with the inverted cup technique. The emission of radon and the gamma emission were measured on soil samples from the profile and the exhalation of radon from two drill cores taken right below the profile was investigated. The radon profile agreed better with the drill core emission than with the measurements on the soil samples supporting the hypothesis that streaming transport from the bedrock exists and is important.
