Description
Summary:	and CR-3 9 increase linearly with the increase of integrated c@/kBq-hr L-1) is required to convert the detector response calibration factor is strongly dependent on exposure concentration of dissolved radon for graduated exposure density per integrated exposure time. The LR II 5 Type 2 Films were submerged in water containing a known for LR I 1 5 Type 2 etch detectors were derived from the for the track etch detectors Kodak LR II 5 Type 2 and CR-39. function of radon exposure in water and exposure temperature integrated radon exposure in water held at different liquid scintillation counting. A calibration factor (tracks observed to be more sensitive to alpha particles than LR 115 observed track densities of each film and its corresponding radon concentration in the water sample was determined by radon exposures in water. The CR-39 etch detector is Research was performed to determine track density as a results suggest that calibration factors as a function of temperature, as the temperature increases, so does the track temperatures. The results indicates that the LR II 5 Type 2 that the track densities of track detectors LR II 5 Type 2 The linearity test was done at room temperature. The actual times. Many different experimental techniques were conducted to a radon concentration estimate. The calibration factors to confirm the detector's linear response. The results show track etch detector types.
