Bibliography

Involves the general features concerning test and calibration of radon and radon decay product measuring instruments. It addresses only the instruments and associated methods for measuring isotopes 220 and 222 of radon and their subsequent short-lived decay products in gases.

Addresses the instruments and associated methods for measuring isotopes 220 and 222 of radon and their subsequent short-lived decay products in gases. Helps to define type tests which have to be conducted in order to qualify these instruments.
