Re: Personnel Contamination Monitor

The problem at Clinton is two fold one is the radon produce from the area
and the other is from the material used in the concrete,We've done air
samples inside and out during peak temperature inversion times. In comparing
the two we've found no difference between the two. The main facture is when
a ventilation system is down for maintenance. That's when we see a higher
concentration of radon and radon daughters. The PCM2 has helped alot with
the alpha discrenimator for those energy levels.
