Re: radon in water

[Rachid Zitouni <azittouni@yahoo.com>]

Radon counting in water can be achieved by means of a
Lucas cell. 
The setup is quite simple; it consists on a cell, a
scintillation counter, an HV supply and a scaler.

The description of the experiment can be found in:
"Principles of Nuclear Radiation Detection -
Laboratory Manual" by Geoffrey G. Eichholz and John
W.¨Poston. Ann Arbor Science, 1980.
