Measurement of radioactivity in the environment - Air : radon-222 - Part 7 : accumulation method for estimating surface exhalation rate

ISO 11665-7:2012 gives guidelines for estimating the radon-222 surface exhalation rate over a short period (a few hours), at a given place, at the interface of the medium (soil, rock, laid building material, walls, etc.) and the atmosphere. This estimation is based on measuring the radon activity concentration emanating from the surface under investigation and accumulated in a container of a known volume for a known duration. This method is estimative only, as it is difficult to quantify the influence of many parameters in environmental conditions. ISO 11665-7:2012 is particularly applicable, however, in case of an investigation, a search for sources or a comparative study of exhalation rates at the same site. ISO 11665-7:2012 does not cover calibration conditions for the rate estimation devices.

Nuclear energy - Measurement of environmental radioactivity - Radon 222 : methods for estimation of the surfacic activity of exhalation by accumulation method

Le présent document donne des recommandations pour estimer le flux surfacique d'exhalation du radon 222, en un point donné et à un instant donné, aux interfaces avec l'atmosphère, à partir de la mesure de l'activité volumique du radon 222 à l'intérieur d'un conteneur d'accumulation. Il décrit le mode de prélèvement et les conditions d'utilisation. Il doit être utilisé conjointement avec les normes NF M 60-763, NF M 60-767 et NF M 60-769.
