Abstract:
A simplified rainout model is presented in this study. According to this model formulations have been derived to relate the exposure rate on the ground to the radon progeny concentration in raindrops as well as the radon concentration in cloud air. By normalizing the saturation exposure rate of the calculation to the HPIC measured value and by the use of reasonably assumed values for some other parameters, the radon progeny concentration in raindrops as well as the radon concentration in cloud air has been determined.
