Measurements of ^222Rn and ^220Rn with a Large Size Collector of Radon Progeny

Radon concentrations in high background radiation areas in the south are higher than those of others in China, especially ^220Rn concentration is significantly high. Therefore, measurements of ^222Rn and ^220Rn concentrations should be carried out there. This paper introduces a large size collector of radon progeny and its applications. The collector is a sheet of polyvinyl chloride fiber with electrostatics of (-500 V)-(-700 V). Its size (60 mm in diameter) is larger than those of others (26 mm in diameter) that work with the same principle. The collector is more effective to adsorb radon progeny than most of others. The equipment of ZnS(Ag) Scintillation Counting System is available for large size collectors to detect radon progeny. Therefore, its sensitivity of measurement is higher than that of others. According to the different half lives of radon progeny, and based on both theory and experiments, a formula for discrimination and calculation of ^222Rn and ^220Rn concentrations is deduced. The ^222Rn and ^220Rn concentrations were surveyed with electrostatic collectors of radon progeny on the campus of commercial school and some other areas in Hainan, southern China. Neither ^222Rn nor ^220Rn concentration was found significantly high. However, several faults underground were delineated. The collector is also used to study radon transportation. Results indicate that radon changes regularly with date when it has transported for a certain distance. Velocities of radon migration in the four media are quite different. Radon migrates more quickly in vertical tube than in the horizontal tube.

Correlation between geology and radon levels in groundwater, soil and indoor air in Bhilangana Valley, Garhwal Himalaya, India

 Radon concentrations were measured in soil, air and groundwater in Bhilangana Valley, Garhwal Himalaya, India by using an LR-115 plastic track detector and radon emanometer. Radon concentrations were found to vary from 1 KBq/m³ to 57 KBq/m³ in soil , 5 Bq/l to 887 Bq/l in water and 95 Bq/m³ to 208 Bq/m³ in air. The recorded values are quite high due to associated uranium mineralization in the area. Radon concentration was also found to depend on the tectonic structure and geology of the area.

为了研究区域土壤氡填图的方法,利用RAD7电子测氡仪和RADON-JOK土壤气体渗透率仪在广东省中山市进行了面积为1 800 km2的测量工作,有效测点数为67个。中山市的平均土壤氡浓度为(100.41±154.64)kBq/m3;最大值和最小值分别为0.74 kBq/m3和1 199.24 kBq/m3。土壤气体渗透率测量结果表明,在风化花岗岩地区,高渗透率和中渗透率占优势;而第四纪沉积物地区大部分土壤气体渗透率较低。基于此,结合研究区土壤氡浓度和土壤气体渗透率,对研究区土壤氡风险进行了分级评价。为土壤氡风险分级的方法研究提供了有参考价值的研究实例。     

Some Measurements of Radon in Soils and in Stream-Water in County Durham

Radon is a radioactive gas emanating naturally from uranium rich granites and shales. It may be emitted from the ground surface into the atmosphere as a gas, or it may be dissolved into stream water and transported over distance. The levels of radon gas in soils at ground surface depend on a number of factors relating to the source of the gas and to its transmission. Igneous rocks contain the highest mean concentrations of radium and uranium. The depth of cover is relevant also. Surveys over the years by the National Radiological Protection Board (NRPB) and others have indicated that the highest concentrations in the United Kingdom occur in Cornwall, Devon and northeast Scotland. However, recent reports have indicated that high concentrations of the gas may be detected in small pockets in counties outside of those considered at high risk. This survey relates to a series of measurements taken in and around Darlington, County Durham. The results showed the presence of small areas with strong concentrations of radon in soil gas, but only minor levels of dissolved gas in stream waters.     

测氡技术在泉州清源山地下水源勘查中地应用

测氡是一种有效的放射性地球物理探测方法。由于含水裂隙基岩与其周边岩体的结构存在差异,氡气的浓度异常可间接反映出地质体裂隙系统的情况,并可分析其开启度、连通性,以及破碎程度。应用测氡技术对地下水资源进行勘探,对含水裂隙基岩的结构特征进行研究,能达到节约投资,缩短勘探时间的目的。并可与地质资料分析相互验证,为地下水勘察应用提供依据。这里将测氡技术应用于泉州市清源山地卞水资源勘探工作中,旨在寻找基岩山区地下水富集带。测氡结果显示,在清源山一带明显存在二条北西西向和北西向断裂,结合地质资料认为：F1断裂带和F2断裂带是地下水赋存的理想位置,而且这二条断裂延伸2．5km～3．0km,汇水面积大于13km^2,大气降水的补给能力5770m^3／d,每年的补给量可达211×10^4m^3。     

Dependence of radon concentration in natural gas on the geological and physical parameters of the gas reservoir

Pressure of natural gas in its rock reservoir determines the final radon concentration in this gas after its decompression to normal conditions. In this investigation, radon contents of 62 natural gas samples were measured and a simple physical model of the gas reservoir was applied. The model takes into account an additional dependence of radon concentration on the natural gas pressure and on the porosity of the rock reservoir. The influence of the gas pressure on the value of the radon emanating power is discussed. The mean ²²⁶ Ra content in the source rock needed for generation of ²²² Rn concentrations observed in gas is also calculated. The calculations are made with the help of regression analysis.     

广东省温泉宾馆室内氡来源分析

利用RAD7便携式测氡仪和NR-67A型连续测氡仪测量了广东省一些温泉宾馆室内外氡浓度。从无人入住的宾馆房间内氡浓度的变化来看，土壤氡的渗入是底层房间氡的主要来源。当在浴室内使用温泉水洗浴时，客房内平均氡浓度水平比没有用温泉水时高出10．9％～813％，浴室内氡浓度比没有用温泉水洗浴时高出13．8％～489％。宾馆室内使用温泉水有较高的氡转换系数。某些宾馆室内氡浓度超标。可能对宾馆工作人员造成潜在健康危害，应采取一些管理措施或技术手段降低其暴露水平。

Indoor radon mapping and its relation to geology in Hungary

Indoor radon mapping may show stronger dependence on geological formations if the measured homes are one-storied houses with no basement. In Hungary, 17,244 homes were investigated on the yearly average of indoor radon concentrations; among these homes, there were 6,154, one-storied, no-basement houses. In Hungary, 21 geological units were created relevant for indoor radon index characterized by lithology, the position of the ground water table, and the gas permeability. Maps were drawn of different topography (counties, grid, geological units) and different values (maximum, mean, indoor radon indexes). A kind of standardization of houses was that only the one-storied, no-basement ones were chosen, but from geological point of view some more information was gained when the wall materials (bricks or adobe) were also taken into account. (“Adobe” is made of clay and straw in Hungary, and not burned as brick, just dried on sunshine). Enhanced indoor radon values can be observed on the bedrock of Cenozoic volcanic rocks and their eroded materials deposited on the local alluvial valleys. Another group with relatively increased indoor radon values can be connected to granite bodies. The grid method is useful for covering large state or even continental areas. For practical public use and detailed radon risk mapping geological or administrative unit-systems could yield more reasonable and useful results.
