Gamma Level for Cs-137

["Mercado, Don" <don.mercado@lmco.com>]

> Greetings,
> 
> Do any of you have another gamma level for Cs-137 other than the 0.33 R/hr
> at 1m/Ci as stated in the Rad Health Handbook? I'm having trouble
> calibrating my pocket dosimeters and having them come in within spec. We
> use TLDs to check what exposure the dosimeters are getting, and they agree
> with the chamber readings. Unfortunately, they all are about 30% below
> what I've calculated they should be getting using the above number.
> 
> Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.
