* STP includes presently Am-241 in the Library for our StandFast , it is not in the Accuscan library.
* We use Am-241 in the Calibration source for both counters at the present time but we are looking at going back to the 88 KEV cutoff. * We use the Accuscan and ORTEC StandFast Larry Archer Plant Health Physicist 7981 pager 0662 Cell 979-240-3536 From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Holmes, Stephen J:(GINNA) Sent: Tuesday, March 18, 2014 3:36 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Powernet: Quick Whole Body Counter Benchmark Hello all, quick benchmark on WBC Operation and Calibration: 1. Do you include Am-241 as one of the standard nuclides in your WBC Library? 2. Is Am-241 part of your mixed gamma calibration source (do you calibrate the 59 keV energy line)? 3. What type of Whole Body Counter do you use (e.g. Canberra Fastscan, Canberra Accuscan, etc)?
