Based on the principle of similarity, uranium ore samples were prepared from raw materials such as uranium tailings, quartz sand and refined iron powder, and then the samples were treated with different packages for measuring the sample accumulated radon concentration. In the actual measurement process, due to the characteristics of radionuclide decay, instrument reasons and human factors, the data will be a certain deviation. Therefore, the method of wavelet analysis is used to denoise the accumulated radon concentration and obtain radon exhalation rate. The results of the study show: the correlation coefficient of cumulative radon concentration fitted by wavelet denoising is improved greatly, and all of them are above 0.99, the recalculated radon exhalation rate of the single side of the sample is decreased by 0.06Bq · m−2 · s−1, and double-edged is decreased by 0.02Bq · m−2 · s−1. The experiment proved that wavelet theory can be used to correct calculated value of radon exhalation rate of uranium-like rock. At the same time, it provides a new method for further study of uranium mine radiation protection parameters.
