Fast diffusion of measurement gas in Thoron-Scout
the pros:
•

No pump necessary!!
o smaller power consumption


longer measurement time

o no vibrations
o no noise
o longer device reliability (no movable mechanical parts)
… and cons:
•

Measurements only at the device exact localization
o no water or soil analysis possible

TSC
Po218TSC(cts) / Po218RTM1688(cts) = 8664 / 26625 = 0,325
Po216TSC(cts) / Po216RTM1688(cts) = 3971 / 12784 = 0,311
Po214TSC(cts) / Po214RTM1688(cts) = 7851 / 25385 = 0,309

RTM1688
Po212TSC(cts) / Po212RTM1688(cts) = 1440 / 4432 = 0,325

Po21XTSC(cts) / Po21XRTM1688(cts) ≈ constant !!
Conclusion:
The losses by diffusion process are negligible, otherwise the ratio of Po218 would be
different from the Po-216 ratio.

TSC
Po218TSC(cts) / Po218RTM1688(cts) = 1742 / 5534 = 0,315
Po216TSC(cts) / Po216RTM1688(cts) = 748 / 2549 = 0,293
Po214TSC(cts) / Po214RTM1688(cts) = 1602 / 5555 = 0,288

RTM1688
Po212TSC(cts) / Po212RTM1688(cts) = 238 / 683 = 0,348

Po21XTSC(cts) / Po21XRTM1688(cts) ≈ constant !!
Conclusion:
During interval tests Thoron gas source is attached / detached from the system circulation. There
is no significant change in measurement response between system with active gas flow and
system with diffusion principle of work. Both Radon and Thoron measurement results for TSC
and reference device RTM1688 are equal.
