| Abstract |
To overcome the disadvantages of the field method recommended by Kusnetz for measuring the working level of short-lived radon daughters in uranium mine atmospheres, the authors have developed an instant working level meter which can evaluate the working level in a uranium mine atmosphere within 4min; 2min are needed to measure the background (due mostly to ambient gamma radiation) and 2min are required to measure background plus working level. The construction and operation of the instrument are described. |
