Description

The radiation flux at a point produced by radioactive sources of different geometrical shapes is calculated and the relation between the source length and the minimum distance at which the value of flux becomes independent of source shape is deduced. Also, the relation between the distance and the source length at which the flux is maximum is obtained. The results obtained help to determine maximum counting rates needed from weak radioactive sources. (author)
