Health Physics Society Journal

On the cover: Radon risk research: EML personnel making activity vs. particle size measurements in a working mine (Eagle Point Mine, Asakatchewan, Canada). Miners are doing explatory drilling to define the size of the ore body. See article by Cavallo et al. on page 532 for more information.
