Metrology infrastructure for radon metrology at the environmental level

Since 2020 a large consortium has been engaged in the project EMPIR 19ENV01 traceRadon to develop the missing traceability chains to improve the sensor networks in climate observation and radiation protection. This paper presents results in the areas of: Novel ²²⁶Ra standard sources with continuous...
