[NewCandle] further adventures of pixie 23

[Nick Reiter]

Good morning, all,

Thtas a good suggestion, Horace, and one that is not difficult to try - repeat my steps with new foil rolls and see if I get the same action again.  The "brine" is still in the bucket, covered over, so all I need do is get more foil.

I wanted to report another little result - 

Yesterday, I took one of the rolls, got a measurement of about 10,000cpm near the open turn end, then put it in a bell jar and pumped on it for about a half hour.  Vented, lifted the bell as quickly as I could, then re-checked the roll end.  Same reading - no change.

Therefore, I would guess its not due to radon entrapment - woulda thought that would change it a little at least if ine outgassed the roll with a pump.
