摘要：
Long term radon transport has been studied by measuring the activity difference of Pb-210 and Ra-226 in soil as a function of the depth. The results are from test pits of 1-2 m depth made at a dam of a tailings pond and at the plateau of a waste rock pile. Soil samples of about 1 kg were taken at a successive distances of 5 cm and analyzed by means of gamma-ray spectroscopy using low background germanium n-type detectors. It is shown that by this method nearly model independent information about the radon transport over a period of several decades can be inferred from the data.
