Abstract: To facilitate the self-correction to some radon meters, a small, low-cost radon box was developed. The volume of radon box with uranium as radon source is 20 L with an saturated concentration of radon up to 20.6 kBq/m3. Theoretical calculations and performance testing results show that the radon check box is feasible and cost efficient, with which radon concentration and radon exposure can be obtained simply through theoretical calculation. It is very suitable for self-correction of some radon measuring instruments.

Key words: radon, self-correction, calibration
