The method for recalibration of thoron concentration reading of RAD7 and obtaining the thoron exhalation rate from soil surface [PDF]
Nuclear Technology and Radiation Protection, 2013 Thoron exhalation rate can be obtained through the combination of the “accumulation chamber” technique and RAD7. Thoron’s rapid decay causes the intake path and the air flow rate to become important factors in calibration.
