摘要
Simulation of the skim-off method for radon measurement by activated charcoal has been carried out by the finite elements method. The variation of radon concentration with peak appearance has been simulated. The thickness of the layer of charcoal removed after exposure and the time of peak appearance have been varied. For the charcoal and canister geometry used, the best results were found when the thickness of the layer removed was 1.72 mm. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
