Workshops
Two workshops for stakeholders will be organised and held during the project:
The first workshop will be organised by PTB and CEA and held either at PTB Braunschweig or at CEA premises in February-April 2026. At the workshop, project results will be presented with emphasis on new sensors for radon monitoring and calibration procedures.
The second workshop will be organised by NPL and held at NPL Teddington February–April 2027. At the workshop, project results will be presented with emphasis on new network developed for sensors monitoring indoor radon concentration.
Presentations
The project partners plan to present at least 12 papers/posters at the following international conferences:
- International Conference on Radionuclide Metrology (ICRM), April 2025
- IAEA Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety International conferences, 2026
- International Radon Symposium (AARST), 2026
- ENVIRA conferences on environmental radioactivity, September 2025
- 7th European Congress on Radiation Protection (IRPA), June 2026)
- International Conference on Scintillating Materials and their Applications (SCINT), 2026
- IEEE Symposium on Radiation Measurements and Applications (SORMA), 2025
- International Topical Meeting on Industrial Radiation and Radioisotope Measurement Applications (IRRMA), 2026
- Conference on Advancements in Nuclear Instrumentation Measurement Methods and their Applications (ANIMMA), 2025
- IEEE Nuclear Science Symposium (IEEE NSS), 2025
Training courses
A training course will be organized by NPL and held in conjunction with the second stakeholder workshop at NPL Teddington. The training course will focus on the results from the project regarding the use of new sensors, calibration procedures and new network for sensors. The training course will be targeted at radon measurement experts, technical staff and students. The training course will be announced on the project webpage, the project partners’ websites and through the Stakeholder Committee.
Publications
The project partners plan to submit at least 10 papers to peer-reviewed scientific journals during the project. Target journals include:
- Applied Radiation and Isotopes
- Radiation Protection and Dosimetry
- Radiation Measurements
- Metrologia
- Journal of Environmental Radioactivity
- Journal of Instrumentation
- Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics
- Atmospheric Measurement Techniques
- Health Physics.
- IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Sciences
- Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Sensors and Associated Equipment
- Nature – Photonics
Good Practice Guides
Three good practice guides (GPG) will be prepared and published on the project website:
- Good practice guide on new methods and sensors developed for radon concentration monitoring in sensor network with lowered response time, increased sensitivity and reduced uncertainty. This will include at least three detection concepts based on the use of i) semiconductors, ii) ionisation chambers and iii) scintillators
- Good practice guide for traceable laboratory calibration procedures for 222Rn activity concentration sensors of different types of technologies with less than 10 % uncertainty at an activity concentration down to 50 Bq·m-3 allowing for response time and dynamic linearity testing
- Good practice guide on the development of an extension of the sensor network capable of including other existing and potential building sensor networks.
