Quantification of the dependency of radon emanation power on soil temperature

A study on the quantification of the dependency of the radon emanation power on soil temperature has been made using the accumulation method. The emanation from dry soil was studied at temperatures between −20°C and 45°C. A formula to calculate the radon emanation power as a function of the temperat...

Zusammenfassung:A study on the quantification of the dependency of the radon emanation power on soil temperature has been made using the accumulation method. The emanation from dry soil was studied at temperatures between −20°C and 45°C. A formula to calculate the radon emanation power as a function of the temperatures has been developed. The formula would contribute to the modeling of radon transport in soils and building materials.
