Radioactivity
The radon issue has focused public attention on the presence of
radioactivity in South-West England. Staff at the Earth Resources
Centre already have considerable experience in radioelement detection
for radon investigations and radioactive waste management research
over some fifteen years. This programme has built up a database
of knowledge through research contracts, major articles, theses
and books. Our wide ranging activities include monitoring, regional
exploration and site investigation. Our laboratories are included
in the NERC listing of radioelement research provision for the
UK.
Facilities include:
- Soil gas sampling probes
- Portable radon detectors
- Portable radon degassing units
- Gamma-ray field spectrometers
- Uranium analysers
- Alpha spectrometry system
