Dosimetry of 252Cf
Creators
Description
Methods to measure the dose rates of 252Cf sources are described and the results of the measurements are presented. A computer program, using empirical constants based on the measurements, calculated the dose rates for arrays of 252Cf sources and for 1.5, 2.0, and 3.0 cm linear sources. A Paterson-Parker type graph for use with 252Cf surface applicators is included.
