Results of radon CR-39 detectors exposed in schools due two different long-term periods
Worldwide scientifi c studies have shown that indoor radon (Rn) is the main source of radiation exposure for the general population throughout the world [1]. Taking into account the health effects of Rn and its large-scale geographical and temporal variability, investigation of their concentrations in the living and working environments still affords scientifi c attention. Different methods to ...
متن کاملComputer program TRACK_VISION for simulating optical appearance of etched tracks in CR-39 nuclear track detectors
A computer program called TRACK_VISION for determining the optical appearances of tracks in nuclear track materials resulted from lightion irradiation and subsequent chemical etching was described. A previously published software, TRACK_TEST, was the starting point for the present software TRACK_VISION, which contained TRACK_TEST as its subset. The programming steps were outlined. Descriptions ...
متن کاملProton beam dosimetry by CR-39 track-etched detector
Background: High and intermediate energy protons are not able to form a track in a solid state nuclear track detector (SSNTD) directly. However, such tracks can be formed through secondary particles created during primary radiation nuclear reactions in a SSNTD. Materials and Methods: The protons with primary energies of 9.6 and 30 MeV available at the cyclotron accelerator with corresponding lo...
متن کاملA parameterization of nuclear track profiles in CR-39 detector
In this work, the empirical parameterization describing the alpha particles’ track depth in CR-39 detectors is extended to describe longitudinal track profiles against etching time for protons and alpha particles. MATLAB based software is developed for this purpose. The software calculates and plots the depth, diameter, range, residual range, saturation time, and etch rate versus etching time. ...
متن کاملMeasurements of Indoor Radon Levels in India using Solid~State Nuclear Track Detectors: Need for Standardisation
Solid-state nuclear track detectors are being used to obtain the time integrated concentration levels of indoor radon/thoron and their daughters. This technique is preferred for taking such measurements in dwellings Such measurements are important as the radiation dose to human beings due to indoor radon constitutes more than 50 per cent of the total dose including that received from the natura...
