Description

A comparison of the standards of absorbed dose to water of the National Research Council of Canada (NRC) and of the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures (BIPM) has been made in 60Co gamma radiation. The results show that the NRC and the BIPM standards for absorbed dose to water are in agreement, yielding a mean ratio of 0.9976 for the calibration factors of the transfer chambers, the difference from unity being within the combined standard uncertainty (0.0052).
