Research for technique of preparing high-intensity 241Am low-energy gamma-source
- 1. China Institute of Atomic Energy, Beijing (China)
Description
Systematically complicated technique used for preparing high-intensity (more than 8.0 GBq/cm2) 241Am γ-source by a new enamel technique is presented. High intensity 241Am γ-sources with activities ranging from 3.7 to 37 GBq have been made by this new technique. The activity and photon output have been measured. The results were compared with the data reported by the Radiochemical Centre Amersham in their specification. The photon output of 241Am γ-source produced by us meets the technical specification of 241Am γ-sources produced by Amersham. Moreover, the highest intensity can reach 1789 mCi/cm2. The overall utilization ratio of 241Am activity (59.5 keV) is 31.2%. (author). 6 refs., 3 figs., 18 tabs
