Abstract

CR-39

Diffusion length

LR-115

Radon chamber

SSNTD

CR-39 an LR-115 were used for the calibration of radon dose in the secondary standard radon chamber designed and constructed at NIS, Egypt. The response of both CR-39 and LR-115 SSNTD's for α-particle registration have been estimated as 0.59 and 0.2 track/α-particle respectively. A reference standard 226Ra source of activity 956 Bq has been used. Radon and daughter concentration as calculated has been compared with these obtained by CR-39 and LR-115. It was found to be 50, 49.73 and 44.39 pCi/1 respectively which proved that the CR-39 is more efficient.
