A Summary of the National Radon Measurement Proficiency Program and Associated Test Facilities
During 1986, the US Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Office of Radiation Programs initiated the National Radon Measurement Proficiency Program (RMPP). Through this programme, participants can voluntarily demonstrate their ability to measure radon and/or radon decay products (RDP) by testing their detection devices in an EPA radon chamber. This article summarises the administrative structure of the RMPP, describes the typical test chambers used to expose the participant detectors and discusses results for test rounds three to six.
