Abstract

In this work, a magnitude is proposed in order to compare the potential radiological risk due to radon exposition generated by different materials, and a method based in the ²²²Rn accumulation technique is presented for its determination.. The obtained results indicate that the proposed magnitude and their corresponding measurement methodology are useful in order to take decisions about the management of different kinds of porous materials.
