External bremsstrahlung generated by the ..beta.. particles of the radioactive sources /sup 90/Sr-/sup 90/Y (2274 keV) and /sup 99/Tc (292 keV) in targets of Cu, Mo, Ag, Cd, and Pb sufficiently thick to stop all ..beta.. particles has been studied using a 4.35 x 5.08-cm/sup 2/ NaI(Tl) scintillation spectrometer. The spectra unfolded using the Liden and Starfelt procedure are compared with the Bethe-Heitler, Elwert-corrected Bethe-Heitler, Morgan-corrected Bethe-Heitler, and Tseng and Pratt theories. The spectra generated by the high end-point energy source agree mostly with the Tseng and Pratt theory whereas those of the low end-point energy source agree mostly with the Elwert-corrected Bethe-Heitler theory. Deviations at high-energy regions of the spectra still exist.
