Re: Calibration Source
Mr. Gallagher,
Does the Cs-137 source discussed below have some type of lead shield with a
shutter type mechanism that can be opened when you want and kept closed
otherwise and possibly locked? Can you manufacture such an apparatus?
Does the Cs-137 source have a certification for exact activity? Another
words, is it NIST traceable? Instead of 100 mCi can you manufacture a
source about 20 mCi or something between 20 and 100 mCi?
Thanks for your information.
