    National Atomic Energy Commission

    Visit or come in contact with your National Atomic Energy
    Commission in order to
    1) get informed about radon and
    2) ask scientists to measure radon concentrations in your school.
    Radon measurements may last some months (it depends on the
    radon detectors), so it is recommended to visit or come in
    contact with your National Atomic Energy Commission as
    soon as possible.
    Students, create a video or a poster for presenting their visit
    (photos, videos etc).
