Measurement of high dose rates of 60Co by gamma activation of115In and 111Cd foils

  • 1. Atomic Energy Commission, Damascus (Syrian Arab Republic). Dept. of Nuclear Engineering

Description

The high gamma dose rate measurement technique using nuclear reaction (γ,(γ'') was introduced in this work. This technique is cheap, easy, reliable, and independent of chemical and physical factors, which affect other techniques. The response to the absorbed dose in this technique is linear and can be used for high dose. Cd and In foils were irradiated using 60Co source and the resulted isomer activities were measured using gamma spectrometer. These foils were calibrated to be used as dosemeter and its results were compared with conventional one. The dose distribution in the irradiation field was determined using In foils. (authors)
