Measurements of indoor radon gas concentration levels were performed using a well-type NaI (Tl) detector accommodating vials containing 10 g of activated charcoal for the detection of radon gas. After the exposure of the vials and the elapse of 3 h, gamma-ray spectrometry was performed. A large energy window of about 150 to 1360 keV was used to study the relative increase in the number of counts due to radon progeny. Comparison of the method was made with an active radon monitor. The work presents the feasibility of use of a small amount of activated carbon along with a well-type NaI detector for the measurement of radon concentration. D 2004 Elsevier BV All rights reserved.
