SAMPLING PROGRAM FOR AIRBORNE RADIOACTIVITY

Abstract

The basic program involves the collection of particulate matter from a known volume of air. The collector is a high volume sampler equipped with a glass fiber filter. The gross beta radiation emitted by a known fraction of the sample is measured in an appropriate instrument, and the concentration is calculated for the sampling period.
