AmBe Neutron Source

["George Anastas" <ANASTASG@facmgmtserver.fm.csus.edu>]

Good Morning Radsafers:

Would anyone have handy some information about AmBe sources??

I've looked through all my references (Cember, Rad Hlth Handbook, 
etc.),  got lots of info about PuBe, 
PoBe, RaBe, etc, but nothing about AmBe.

Need average energy of neutrons, yield (neutrons/sec-curie) and gamma 
dose (mr/hr-Ci-m) and citation.

Or point me in the direction where the information is avaiable.

Thank you very much and have a good day.
