Abstract:Abstract. A new approach to assess the emanation of 222Rn from
226Ra sources based on γ-ray spectrometric measurements is
presented. While previous methods have resorted to steady-state treatment of
the system, the method presented incorporates well-known radioactive decay
kinetics into the inference procedure through the formulation of a
theoretically motivated system model. The validity of the 222Rn
emanation estimate is thereby extended to regimes of changing source
behavior, potentially enabling the develo… Show more
