Robinson uses Am-241 -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of BREHM, DAVID M Sent: Tuesday, October 26, 2010 5:17 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Powernet: RE: Quick benchmarking - Alpha Calibration Sources Fort Calhoun Station currently uses Thorium for calibration and response testing gross alpha/beta counters. I am working towards using Am-241 or Pu-239 for alpha calibrations as their energy is much closer to what alpha we have. We already use the Am or Pu source for setting discriminator voltages as the Th betas & gammas make it a less optimal choice.
