    Abstract: Alpha particle detectors capable of detecting alpha radiation from distant sources. In one embodiment, a voltage is generated in a single electrically conductive grid while a fan draws air containing air molecules ionized by alpha particles through an air passage and across the conductive grid. The current in the conductive grid can be detected and used for measurement or alarm. Another embodiment builds on this concept and provides an additional grid so that air ions of both polarities can be detected. The detector can be used in many applications, such as for pipe or duct, tank, or soil sample monitoring.

    Abstract: An electret ion chamber based radon monitor is employed as a method of measuring radium-226 and dissolved radon-222 concentrations in water. The procedure consists of taking a known volume of water and placing it in a container of known volume and determining the equilibrium radon concentration in the air phase above the water using an electret ion chamber radon. The radon concentration in the original water sample is calculated from the radon concentration of the air phase. A detailed theory is proposed and experimental results reported. Given a 200 ml water sample, it is typically possible to measure radon concentration of 160 pCi/l with an accuracy of 10% in a one day measurement. One pCi/l of Ra-226 can be also determined with an accuracy of 10% over a 10 day period.

    Abstract: A small enclosed chamber with an electrostatically charged electret attached to the inner chamber wall. A filtered hole in the chamber permits radon or other radioactive gas to enter by diffusion. Positive or negative ions (depending on the polarity of the electret charge) formed in the chamber air by the decay of the radioactive gas move to and collect on the electret surface by virtue of its electrostatic attraction to ions of opposite polarity. These ions accumulate and cause a measurable reduction in the surface voltage of the electret which reduction is proportional to the time integrated concentration of the radioactive gas in the chamber. The electret surface voltage of the reduction value is used to calculate the average concentration of the radioactive gas during the exposure period. The electret thickness and chamber volume can both be increased to increase the sensitivity of the invention to radioactive gases such as radon, tritium or carbon-14 dioxide or such other radioactive gases.

    Abstract: An apparatus for measuring radon and thoron using an ionization chamber is proposed. The apparatus includes: a pump for air inflow suctioning and sending external air to at least one channel; a first sensor module outputting an alpha particle detection signal of an electrical signal by detecting alpha (α) particles discharged from radon and thoron; an air inflow delay module delaying air for a predetermined delay time and then outputting the air; a second sensor module outputting an alpha particle detection signal of an electrical signal by detecting alpha (α) particles discharged from radon and thoron; and a control module discriminating normal or abnormal alpha particle detection signals, counting the normal alpha particle detection signals discriminated for a predetermined measurement time, and calculating radioactive ray concentration values on the basis of the counted number of times of the normal alpha particle detection signals.

    Abstract: A small enclosed ion chamber with an electrostatically charged electret attached to the inner chamber wall. Positive or negative ions (depending on the polarity of the electret charge) formed in the chamber air by the passing of gamma radiation or X-rays move to and collect on the electret surface by virtue of its electrostatic attraction to ions of opposite polarity. These ions neutralize the ions of opposite polarity on the electret and cause a measurable reduction in its surface voltage which reduction is proportional to the dose of gamma and/or X-ray incidence on the chamber. The reduction of the electret surface voltage is used to calculate the dose of gamma or X-ray radiation incident upon the chamber during a known exposure period. In the preferred embodiment, filtered holes in the chamber permit radon to diffuse out of the ion chamber. A sealed outer container containing an absorbent such as activated charcoal surrounds the inner ion chamber to remove any radon captured within the container and to prevent any ambient radon from entering the ion chamber. Removal of this radon removes its undesirable contribution to the gamma/X-ray dose signal and thereby enhances the accuracy of the monitor.
