Title: | Our PET project: an unlimited supply of big and small water sample vials for the assay of radon in water | Journal: | Journal of Radioanalytical and Nuclear Chemistry | Series/Report no.: | /307 (2016) | Publisher: | Springer | Issue Date: | 2016 | DOI: | 10.1007/s10967-015-4532-4 | URL: | https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10967-015-4532-4 | Keywords: | Polyethylene terephthalate Radon loss from water during storage RAD7 BigBottle RADH2O |
Subject Classification: | 05.04. Instrumentation and techniques of general interest | Abstract: | RAD7 and BigBottle system has been developed, using large glass bottles, but these are fragile and awkward to carry around. In searching for a better solution, we tested polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles for water samples storage to estimate radon loss over time. Two sets of experiments with 0.355 and 1.75 L bottles demonstrated that PET is a suitable material for storage. If correction for 226Ra content in water is applied, we can also calculate the rate of radon loss (0.03 ± 0.08 % day-1). |
