A better understanding of the background of CR-39 detectors

An extended study of the etching characteristics of CR-39 detectors

“…Particularly, CR-39 detectors supplied by TASL (UK) (TASTRAK), by LANDAUER Inc. (USA) and by the INTERCAST Europe co. (Italy) have been used. Moreover for CR-39 TASTRAK the experimental protocol has foreseen two sets one of which previously undergone to a pre-etching procedure described elsewhere (Mishra et al, 2005).…”

Indoor radon levels in schools of South-East Italy

“…Analytical procedures have already been described (Orlando et al, 2002;Mishra et al, 2005). Internal procedures, described in D' Alessandro et al (2010), provide that before every new counting cycle the reading system is checked; this consists of counting plastic detectors exposed to certified radon atmospheres.…”

A step towards accreditation: A robustness test of etching process

“…For integrated radon measurements, experimental methods using NRPB/SSI type dosimeters and CR39 plastics (Intercast Europe, Italy) as detectors (SSNTD) can be applied: experimental details about the laboratory-developed method followed in the present work are described elsewhere (Mishra et al, 2005;Orlando et al, 2002).…”
