Development of a program for radon measure in seismic active zone, the case of Mons basin (Belgium).

Abstract

A complete bibliography about radon methods and their application in earthquake prediction is discussed. A review of the techniques for radon measurement is presented with special consideration about the different methods developed at the 'Faculte Polytechnique de Mons'. Some applications of these techniques on several sites of the Mons basin (a seismic active zone) are shown and a new full program of radon measures in this basin is presented. In these first applications, the problem of the meteorological influences and the discrimination between a superficial and deep radon flux is developed in particular. -from Authors
