Characterization of the radiation field of a 137Cs source in a calibration laboratory
- 1. Laboratorio de Ciencias Radiologicas (DBB/IBRAG), Rio de Janeiro (Brazil)
Description
Due to the broad range of radiation levels found in practice, the calibration of radiation detector requires that the laboratory have a large range of values of air kerma rates for a reference distance to the source, in order to allow the calibration of all scales. The dosimetry performed for open beam and with the different attenuators has shown deviations smaller than 5% in relation to the data supplied by the manufacturer that is acceptable. These results are in accordance with the recommendations of the ISO/DIS 4037-2
