✦ Synopsis

A radon standard chamber for calibration of the equipment in research on radon and its decay products has been designed and constructed. The chamber equipped with different facilities to control and monitor the conditions inside, such as temperature and humidity are described. Passive radon measuring techniques among them, SSNTD's, TLD's and charcoal canisters have been used. The calibration factors for these detectors were delnrmined.
