Continuous Measurement of the Radioactivity of Atmospheric Aerosols; LA MESURE CONTINUE DE LA RADIOACTIVITE DES AEROSOLS ATMOSPHERIQUES

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4273560
In order to measure continuously and without delay the radioactipe pollution of the atmosphere, the alpha and beta activities of dust collected on filters are detected simultaneously. By the simultaneous detection of the alpha and beta particles emitted by the deposit on the filter, the relative value of the atmospheric pollution is easily determined. To calculate the absolute value of the pollution, the geometric yield of the counter, the distribution law for the dust in the filter layers, and the absorption of beta particles in the filter are determined.
