Radiation protection instrumentation - Radon and radon decay product measuring instruments - Part 6: Passive integrating radon measurement system using solid-state nuclear track detectors

Scope

IEC 61577-6:2026 describes the specific requirements for instruments measuring the exposure to airborne radon (222Rn) outdoors and indoors. The exposure is the time-integrated radon activity concentration in air accumulated over the exposure period.
This document applies to radon integration measurement systems equipped with solid-state nuclear track detectors (SSNTD) installed in an enclosed volume. The air containing 222Rn enters the volume by diffusionIEC 61577 describes the specific requirements for instruments measuring the exposure to airborne radon (222Rn) outdoors and indoors.
