| Summary: | Alpha and beta particles emitted from radioactive material attenuation should be empirically related to demonstrated beta source transmitted was developed. This graph provides collected on an air filter may be significantly attenuated by counting efficiency. A graph of mass density vs. fraction of deposit by measurement of the attenuation of beta particles determined the mass or thickness of the simulated dust factors which will correct for selfabsorption losses in the filter during the counting procedure. This experimental from an external radioactive source as the particles pass nuclear facilities. procedure could favorably affect the cost and effort required the mass (thickness) of collected dust. In this study, we through the filter-dust combination. This measured to accurately monitor airborne radioactivity releases from |
