1. Justification of Shielding Requirements for Plutonium Sources
Series: Technical Note (NIST TN)
Report Number: 1758
Published: 9/12/2012
Authors: Leticia S Pibida, Michael P Unterweger
Abstract: This report provides a justification for shielding plutonium sources when testing radiation detection instruments against standard performance requirements and test methods. The use of copper as a shielding material is proposed to provide compara ...
