Operating manual for the radon-daughter chamber
A radon-daughter chamber was constructed at the US Department of Energy (DOE) Grand Junction Projects Office (GJPO) facility for the purpose of calibrating, testing and evaluating radon and radon-daughter measuring instruments used in support of DOE remedial action programs. The chamber is an environmentally controlled cylindrical vessel through which air containing radon can be circulated. Environmental parameters within the chamber and their respective controllable ranges include radon concentration (1 to 1000 pCi/1), ventilation rate (0.25 to 10 air changes per hour), temperature (0 to 45/sup 0/C), dew point (-10/sup 0/C to saturated), and condensation-nuclei concentration (10 to 10/sup 6//cm/sup 3/).
