|
PDF 138kByte
|
|
This paper demonstrates the installation of autonomous Radon instrumentation sites linked to a control centre by remote control. Based on the usage of
commercial available modems, complex sampling networks can be established. The several offered transmission standards allowing a perfect adoption to the various local infrastructures.
The installation steps are quite simple, even a non skilled person can do it. Only a low number of additional components is required

AN-002 Measuring Principals – Decay Statistics – Test Planning

PDF 122kByte
|
|
The determination of the activity concentration of Radon is always a radiometric measurement, meaning a counting experiment. This causes a number of
specific circumstances which have to take in consideration by the one who is carrying out this task. Only the knowledge of those particularities allows the correct set-up of a test and avoids misinterpretations of
the achieved results.
Please read carefully the next chapters “Theory of Operation” and “Statistical Error” to become familiar with this kind of radiometric measurements.

AN-004 Thoron Measurements with the RTM1688-2
|
PDF 201kByte
|
|
Continuous and simultaneous measurement of Radon and Thoron is only
possible by the measuring method of alpha spectroscopy as it is implemented in the RTM1688-2.
The collection of the short living daughter products on the surface of a semiconductor detector allows the
separation of the single nuclides with respect to their emission energy.
There are still some particularities affecting the behaviour of the instrument. The knowledge of these particularities is necessary to
conduct successful measurements of mixed Radon/Thoron atmospheres.
