Radon and thoron emanation from uranium-glazed tableware.
Radon and thoron gas emanation from tableware with ceramic glazes containing elevated uranium levels was determined using alpha-scintillation cells. Though gamma spectroscopy noted significant uranium concentrations in the glazed, no radioactive gas emanation was observed, contradicting a previous report.
