Design Studies on Cesium-137 as a Source for High Level Gamma Irradiations. Quarterly Progress Report No. 2 Covering the Period From Sept. 1, 1959 to Dec. 1, 1959

PDF Version Also Available for Download.

Description

Further studies are reported on the analytical behavior and experimental testing of Cs/sup 137/ plaque irradiator designs. Low-level sources used for the initial experiments consisted of about 7 mc of Cs/sup 137/ aqueous solution in brass trays 20 by 20 by 1/2 in. high having wall thicknesses of 1/16 in. Calibration tests were made preliminary to radiation field mapping. (T.R. H.)
