Steve,
1. Duke Energy does NOT include Am-241 in its WBC library.
2. Am-241 is NOT part of Duke's mixed gamma calibration standard.
3. Duke uses Canberra Fastscan and chair whole body counters. All use
NaI detectors.

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)?
Thanks,
-Steve
