1. Do you include Am-241 as one of the standard nuclides in your WBC
Library?
No
2. Is Am-241 part of your mixed gamma calibration source (do you
calibrate the 59 keV energy line)?
No. 88 keV is the lowest
3. What type of Whole Body Counter do you use (e.g. Canberra Fastscan,
Canberra Accuscan, etc)?
Canberra FastScan & AccuScan II

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)?
Thanks,
-Steve
