A passive radon monitor, originally for mines, is ideal for workplaces. This study details its use and addresses potential neutron interference for accurate radon detection.

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Science
  • Radiation Protection
  • Occupational Health

Background:

  • International intercomparisons evaluated passive radon monitors for workplace suitability.
  • The National Radiation Protection Board (NRPB), UK, developed a suitable passive radon device for personal dosimetry in mines.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify a suitable passive radon monitoring device for workplace environments.
  • To address the challenge of storing radon detectors in low-radon zones when not in use.
  • To investigate the response of passive radon monitors to high-energy neutron fields.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of results from international intercomparisons on passive radon monitors.
  • Description of a passive radon monitor comprising a diffusion chamber and CR-39 track detector.

  • Investigation into the neutron response of the selected passive radon monitors.

    • Main Results:

    • The NRPB-developed passive radon device exhibits the most suitable characteristics for workplace monitoring.
    • A method for storing detectors in low-radon zones when not in use is presented.
    • The potential for track detectors to act as neutron dosemeters necessitates careful consideration in neutron-exposed environments.

    Conclusions:

    • The analyzed passive radon monitor is recommended for workplace radon monitoring.
    • Proper storage protocols are crucial for accurate radon measurements in intermittent exposure scenarios.
    • The dual functionality as a neutron dosemeter requires awareness and mitigation strategies in specific workplace settings.
