Description/Abstract:
A 5MG RA SOURCE WAS INSTALLED IN THE COMPLETED CALIBRATION WELL. IT WAS CALIBRATED BY MEANS OF IONIZATION CHAMBERS. RADIATION FROM THE WELL WAS COMPARED WITH THE RADN FROM A STANDARD SOURCE IN A LOW-SCATTER SITUATION. USE OF THE WELL BROUGHT ABOUT A CHANGE IN THE GEOMETRY OF CALIBRATION WHICH WAS FOUND TO RESULT IN A SMALL CHANGE IN THE CALIBRATION OF THE HIGH RANGE OF THE CP.
