Using the 4 The effects of 6 wt.% Ru-U all - coincidence method the self-absorption of 4 The effects of 6 wt.% Ru-U all counting sources prepared by a number of source preparation techniques has been measured for thc negatron emitters Cs/sup 137/ (86-kev branch only), Nb/sup 95/, Hg/sup 209/ Co/sup 60/ Sc/ sup 46/ Rb/sup 86/ Au/sup 198/ Na/sup 24/, and the pos ition branch of Cu/sup 64/. The self-absorption varied from a few tenths of one per cent to about ten per cent for sources with a mean superflcial density of 2 ic g/cm/sup 2/ for most of the nuclides studied. Subsidiary experiments were carried out to indicate the variation of self-absorption with source superficial density. (auth)
