Use of Radon for Industrial Radiography

Abstract

The factors that have kept radon from becoming popular for industrial radiography are discussed and the conditions under which it will be most useful are deduced. Data are given to enable radiographers to find the correct exposure for radon in those instances where it can be best applied.
