ESTIMATION METHOD OF PARTICLE SIZE DISTRIBUTION (PSD) OF RADIOACTIVE AEROSOLS BY USING INERTIAL SEPARATORS

Abstract

This paper describes a new method for determining the dispersed composition of radioactive aerosols using device that containing inertial separators of aerosol particles which separating it into fractions by size.
