[ RadSafe ] BRUKER AXS GADDS SYSTEM and CS-137 check source

[Jeff Terry]

We just received a Bruker D2 Phaser and it did not come with a Cs-137 check source. 

I have never purchased a GADDS system, so I am not sure about that. Can't think of a reason why it would have one though, I have only used strong radioactive sources for flat fielding position sensitive detectors but that is usually done at the factory.
