摘要
A new method for detecting and measuring radon and its radioactive progeny is described, involving a bundle of scintillating optical fibers. The general sensor construction is described. A preliminary field trial is described in which the fiber sensor responded in a comparable way with a commercial radon measurement instrument, to varying ambient radon levels.
