Re: Tritium Control Data

Mr. Dunn,

>Having just received in 10Ci tritium gas in a glass ampule,

- similar, no doubt, to other glass ampules in which other amounts of
tritium gas may have been, or may yet be, delivered to all our institutions -

Then by all means, please share those meter responses with the rest of us.

GM:  How many cpm near surface of ampule?  How many cpm (same instrument) in
1 mrem/hr Cs-137 gamma source field?

NaI: How many cpm near surface of ampule?  How many cpm (same instrument) in
1 mrem/hr I-125 photon source field?

Those numbers might be helpful to us, conceivably.  Thanks.
