Abstract
Theoretical analytical calculations of the radon registration have bee n performed for the solid state nuclear track detectors (SSNTD) LR-115 Type II (peliculable) produced by Kodak-Pathe (France). Known and mea sured properties of LR-115 together with the well established etching theory using ''Huygens' principle'' were used to carry out these detai led calculations for different types of exposure devices for indoor ro om and outdoor soil measurements. The results of these modeling calcul ations are compared with experimental calibration measurements and sho w good agreement.
