Request a quoteReference and Calibration Sources
The following isotopes may require consultation with Technical Support before ordering. The information in this table is meant to alert the end user of these isotopes to certain features and issues associated with them.
Uranium
Uranium consists of a mixture of isotopes. All uranium sources, in general, are certified on the basis of specific activity and mass. EZIP calculates the activity percentages of the isotopes present using technical data provided by the vendor of the material, and writes a Technical Data Sheet. The Technical Data Sheet is a part of the Certificate of Calibration.
Plutonium
Plutonium consists of a mixture of isotopes. EZIP calculates the activity percentages of the isotopes present
using technical data provided by the vendor of the material, and writes a Technical Data Sheet. The Technical
Data Sheet is a part of the Certificate of Calibration. Plutonium isotopes are complicated by the presence of Pu-241, which is beta active, and has a relatively short half-life of 14.4 years. Its daughter is Am-241, which is alpha active with significant gamma rays.
