STUDIES ON X-RAYS AND BREMSSTRAHLEN FROM SOURCE-TARGET MIXTURE

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4329742
Homogeneous mixtures of beta-emitting radioisotopes with stable target materials were investigated as possible radiation sources for medical radiography. Mixtures containing Ca/sup 45/, Tl/sup 204/, or Pm/sup 147/ as chemical compounds have been prepared and their spectra determined. Radiographic testing of these sources indicates that Pm/sup 147/, or other low-energy beta emitters, show promise for use as medical x-ray sources. (auth)
