Re: Cf-252 Calibration

[Lester.Slaback@nist.gov]

Response from Dr. David Gilliam, Head of the NIST Neutron group regarding
the NIST neuton calibration program for survey instruments......

We can still do these calibrations at NIST, but we are encouraging people
to use the Battelle NW Service for routine calibrations.  We are trying to
limit our direct calibrations to cases involving calibrations of secondary
laboratories like Battelle, cases requiring NIST traceability for
international trade purposes, and cases requiring the highest possible
accuracy.

A good person to contact at Battelle is Joe McDonald, Tel. 509-375-2019, 
FAX 509-375-3974.

The NIST contact for these services is Alan K. Thompson
(alan.thompson@nist.gov).

Kind regards,

David M. Gilliam
