M. Lefórt, X. Tarrago

Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

Design of a kilocurie Co/sup 60/ gamma-ray source is described. Irradiation facilities are given both for research on radiation chemistry and photonuclear reactions. Cobalt samples were placed in six small cylinders in a lead drum. Dose-rates are indicated for various exposure chambers. The volume of the central exposure chamber is of 1,000 cc and the integral dose rate is of 2 x 10/sup 8/ rads kg/hour. Tubes or electrical leads connected to external apparatus can easily be introduced with the sample. (auth)
