Development of krypton-85 sources for the Bureau of Mines coal dust combustion analyzer. Operations Division final report. [Gaseous /sup 85/Kr encapsulated in Ta; x-ray source]

Description: Americium-241 used as a radiation source in a field instrument for measuring coal concentrations in mine dust presents a contamination hazard if the instrument is damaged. Alternative source designs based on /sup 85/Kr were developed and evaluated. Krypton-85 beta particles were used to excite x-rays from a target and the x-rays were used in place of the /sup 241/Am gamma radiation. Output of sources using /sup 85/Kr foils was not high enough because the concentration of /sup 85/Kr in the foils… more
