True, but it also puts out a 59.5 meV gamma, and I think a 14 meV gamma as

well.  The 59.5 meV gamma is handy for setting the discrimination circuit in

gross count scintillation gamma ray oil well logging tools.

------------------------------



The units you use are wrong, it should read "keV" (kiloelectronvolts). "meV"

would mean "millielectronvolts" or "MeV" would mean "megaelectronvolts",

both of which are wrong by three orders of magnitude.



Best regards,



Franz
