TLD Irradiations

[DUTOIT DuToit Volschenk <dutoit@sabs.co.za>]

We need to have sets of TLD irradiated to X-ray, Cs-137, Sr-90/Y-90 and 
Tl204, and are looking for facilities world-wide that may be able to do 
this for us. Amongst other things, our requirements are that a facility 
must have traceability to its particular country's national standards.

We have only one such facility in South Africa, which has problems with 
giving high doses (100 rem / 1 Sv and above for photons, 5 rem / 0.05 Sv 
and above for beta) and availability of laboratories for doing 
irradiations.

I would appreciate any information in this regard.
