چکیده انگلیسی
Radon (222Rn) and thoron (220Rn) levels in the environment are typically subject to significant random and systematic variations. Creation in the laboratory of reproducible and controlled exposure conditions close to that in the real environment can be useful for testing 222Rn and 220Rn detectors and for research. In this report the design and performance of a novel laboratory facility with such functionality is presented. The facility allows the exposure of detectors under controlled dynamic as well as static activity concentrations of 222Rn and 220Rn (pure and mixed) and temperature. The temperature is measured and regulated within â15 °C ÷ +60 °C by a dedicated programmable thermostat. Different reference activity concentrations in the exposure vessel are made by regulating the flow-rate of the air that flushes 222Rn/220Rn activity from the sources towards the exposure vessel. Reference atmospheres that contain 222Rn, 220Rn or a specified ratio of the two can be created. Pilot experiments that demonstrate the feasibility of the approach are presented. They include follow-up of a pre-defined temperature profile (in the range â5 °C ÷ +35 °C), test of the correspondence between planned and measured 222Rn and 220Rn activity concentrations, follow-up of a pre-defined dynamic profile of 220Rn concentrations and test of the possibility to create mixed 220Rn/222Rn atmospheres (experimentally checked for ratio of the activity concentrations from 0.27 to 4.5). The results from the experimental tests are in agreement with the values obtained by the developed theoretical model. The proposed approach can be used to plan and create stationary and dynamic reference exposure conditions that are close to the real exposure regimes in the environment.
