Abstract |
|
|
| The emanation coefficient of radon gas from some Egyptian stream sediments was estimated using Can-Technique. Nineteen samples were collected from three areas at Egypt; Baltim at the Northern coast and Wadi Nugrus and Wadi Rimarim at the Southeastern Desert. The average value of the emanation coefficient of the studied sediments was 0.29±0.04. Previous data showed that the emanation coefficient of radon gas decreases with the increase in the activity concentration of radium. This study fitted the data in a formula containing the reciprocal of the radium activity concentration and accordingly updated the process model of radon emanation. |
