Re: Powernet: Air sample alpha analysis

[John . Joyce]

SONGS uses a source made from an actual air sample so the instrument efficiency is corrected for self absorption/transmission/ attenuation.

Diablo Canyon wants to know ..
What (if any) attenuation / transmission / self absorption factor is used for alpha analysis of particulate air samples?
 
Any input will be appreciated!
