Abstract:
The study on accurate measurement of
220Rn activity concentration was carried out theoretically and experimentally. The effect of the volume of dryer vessel and the sampling flow rate on
220Rn measurement was studied in detail. It is found that the increase of dryer volume and the decrease of sampling flow rate can increase the differences between RAD7 results of
220Rn activity concentration and true value. For an accurate measurement of
220Rn activity concentration, the correction is necessary. And the results show that correction factors for both the RAD7 proper small dryer and the big dryer are 1.224±0.118 and 2.232±0.598, respectively.
