It should be emphasized that the modified Kusnetz method is only one of the several methods which may be used by uranium mining licensees in fulfilling the [Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission(CNSC) ] requirement of an acceptable method of measurement for radon daughter concentrations.... The basic Kusnetz technique employed a count rate meter to measure the alpha emission rate from the sample, and had a practical detection limit of about 0. 3 WL [working level]. The modified technique requires the use of a scaler in place of the count rate meter, and this results in a reduction of the practical detection limit to about 0. 03 WL [working level]. 2, record 1, English, - counting%20ratemeter

[...] La technique de base de Kusnetz faisait appel à un ictomètre (détecteur de taux de comptage) afin de mesurer le taux d'émission alpha dû à l'échantillon et sa limite pratique de détection était environ 0,3 WL. La technique modifiée nécessite l'utilisation d'une échelle de comptage au lieu du détecteur de taux, ce qui entraîne la réduction de la limite de détection pratique à environ 0,03 WL. 1, record 1, French, - ictom%C3%A8tre
