 A conclusion of the March 2014 AARM meeting is that we should pursue detailed studies of radon plate-out and diffusion. Radon plate-out and diffusion are topics of interest to the greater low-background community. A great deal of work has been done in the study of radon plate-out and radon diffusion. Studies point to environmental factors playing a large role.  A conclusion of the March 2014 AARM meeting is that we should pursue detailed studies of radon plate-out and diffusion.
