Calibration of iridium-192 source by ionization chamber for high dose rate brachytherapy
Background: The effectiveness and safety of brachytherapy treatment is mainly concerned with the calibration of sources and their traceability to internationally accepted Standards. Secondary Standard Dosimetry Laboratory (SSDL) does not offer calibration of ionization chambers with gamma-ray spectrum of high dose rate source 192Ir . This work has been carried out to calibrate the high dose rat...
متن کاملCalibration of Radon-222 Reference Instrument in Sweden
A simple procedure to calibrate and characterize a recently developed radon-222 reference instrument is described. The system, which is now used as the official national Swedish reference, is quick and easy to use. Systematic as well as random errors are smaller than in an earlier system and compare well with other systems, as has been shown in a number of international intercomparison measurem...
متن کاملThe calibration of the 'Fingerhut' ionization chamber
The use of the "thimble" ionization chamber (Fingerhutkammer) has in the past been the only method for comparing the primary X-ray standards of different laboratories, hence the precise calibration of two thimble chambers is discussed in this paper. Five principal factors determine the accuracy of such a calibration, and it is shown that the errors are all, in general, in the same direction. It...

متن کاملCalibration of Scintillation Cells for Radon-222 Measurements at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
Zinc sulfide coated scintillation cells are the primary method for measuring radon-222 at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Office of Radiation Programs (ORP), Eastern Environmental Radiation Facility (EERF). These cells are used to measure concentrations of radon in exposure chambers that are used to calibrate or test other devices or instruments. Individual cells are calibrated ...
