Personal computer programs for use in radon/thoron progeny measurements
Source listings and program notes are given for five programs for reducing data from measurements on radon and thoron progeny. Three of these programs provide for calculating radon and thoron progeny concentrations from gross alpha counting of deposits on filters, by three different methods. The remaining two programs are for calculating aerosol particle size (or diffusion coefficient) distributions from diffusion battery (or graded screen) apparatus. One program is written in GW BASIC and the remainder are written in Borland's Turbo Pascal. The target machine for these programs is the IBM (or compatible) personal computer (PC). Portable versions of the PC also make it feasible to run these programs in the field. 13 refs., 9 figs., 2 tabs.
