A small volume radon progeny aerosol control device and its performance by DENG Tianyu, SHAN Jian, CAI Xiangming, LI Haoxuan, LI Hongliang, ZENG Xuwei

“…BackgroundNuclear sites require monitoring of artificial radioactive aerosols, but existing instruments often encounter the problem of "measurement uncertainty (radon progeny interference)" in the measurement of artificial radioactive aerosols, requiring effective calibration of radon daughter interference levels.PurposeThis study aims to accurately calibrate the radon progeny measurement instruments and effectively calibratt the radon progeny aerosol interference levels for artificial radioactive aerosol monitoring instruments.MethodsBased on the behavior patterns of aerosol particles and radon along with its progeny, a small volume radon progeny aerosol control device was developed, which was composed of aerosol dilution loop, radon progeny regulation loop, and controller with programmable logic controller (PLC) control system. …”
