Abstract
Calculations are made for the radiation flux in a radioactive medium. The scattering effects are treated with a simplified model giving an easy survey of the total flux in media with various densities and various atomic weights. The calculations are used for comparison of the sensitivities of common detectors for radiation monitoring of air-borne and water-borne radioactivity. The results are in diagrams compared with the stipulated tolerances of radioactivity in those media for the common isotopes.
