Abstract
Simulation of the skim-off method for radon measurement by activated charco al has been carried out by the finite elements method. The variation of rad on concentration with peak appearance has been simulated. The thickness of the layer of charcoal removed after exposure and the time of peak appearanc e have been varied. For the charcoal and canister geometry used, the best r esults were found when the thickness of the layer removed was 1.72 mm. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
