The detection and measurement of radon gas in homes has now become a major interest in the United States.many local health departments are distributing charcoal canisters to perform random sampling in their districts.

The Nucleus has been involved in this form of radon measurement since its inception. Intial systems supplied to Dr.Bernard Cohen at the University of Pittsburgh utilized our inexpensive Model 800 Multichannel Analyzer. We now offer complete single and multi-detector systems based on our popular Personal Computer Analyzer fort he IBM-PC or compatible.

Our new TC-2904R low background lead shield will accommodate most types of charcoal canisters and is of ring construction for dissasembly and transportation. Correction for moisture uptake of the exposed charcoal is taken into account with our Radon Application software. It also corrects for isotope decay from the time of sampling to measurement. This handy software package also produces a typed report of the Radon activity which may be mailed directly to the customer.
