Calibration of G.M. Counters For Direct Counting of Radon in the Atmosphere

Description: An experiment has been carried out for the direct calibration of a Geiger-counter immersed in a balloon containing a known concentration of radon in equilibrium with its daughters. A theory was developed for finding out the geometrical efficiency of the counter used in this way, and for checking the experimental results with theoretical efficiency. The counters calibrated in this way may be useful for the direct measurement of radon in uranium mines and may also be useful for monitoring radioac… more

Seasonal Variations of Cesium-137 In The Ground Level Air

Description: An increase in the cesium-137 content of the ground level air has been observed at Bombay during the spring seasons of the years 1957 to 1960. and a similar increase has been observed at seven other stations in India during 1960. The ratio of cesium-137 to gross beta activity have also been studied.

Cesium-137 and Strontium-90 in Milk

Description: Cesium-137 and strontium-90 levels in liquid milk samples from Bombay and 27 other stations in India, and powder milk samples from Australia, Denmark, Holland, India, U.K. and U.S.A/ have been estimated. The results of these measurements have been interpreted on the basis of the total injection of these isotopes in the atmosphere, their rate of fallout, and seasonal effects.
