This report summarizes the results of two radon measurement intercomparison exercises held at the Environmental Measurements Laboratory (EML) in January 1983 and February 1984. Nineteen organizations, including five US federal facilities, one national laboratory, two state laboratories, six universities, three private sector laboratories and two non-US facilities participated in these exercises. The results indicate good agreement among the participants at /sup 222/Rn concentration levels of 50 and 80 pCi.L/sup -1/. Improvements in the EML calibration facilities, and the participation of two US laboratories in a Nuclear Energy Agency intercomparison program are also discussed. 8 references, 6 figures, 8 tables.
