Description
Summary:	13.30 and NCRP Report 57, using guidance from NUREG 8.9. The primary results of this project were: 1) a a set of procedures, several sets of source bottles A widd variety of difficulties can arise in bringing a ics. according to the guidelines established in ANSI N activities for use as a phantom source; 2) an intimate calibrated whole body counting system capable of chair did not have source bottles. After establishing chairs, Model WBC-6000 with three associated NaI(T1) completed. The block phantom that accompanied the confidently measuring internal radioactive configurations. From the information collected in the contamination in personnel. counts, all three of the detectors were calibrated creation of calibration efficiencies; and 3) a detectors, was donated to Texas A&M University. In detectors. This project addressed all of these factors. Applied Physical Technology, Inc was once a generating radionuclides and manipulating the knowledge of gamma spectroscopy, including the knowledge of how to establish procedures for manufacturer of whole body counting chairs. One of the mechanical operation of the chair, in fabrication of order to bring it into operation, physical repairs to phantom source bottles, and in calibrating the radiation workers. Problems can arise in the series of counts was performed in various source sources created, the equipment was assembled and a the control box and emergency release mechanism were thyroid regions of the phantoms. With the radionuclide were fabricated for use in the lung, Gl tract, and whole body counting chair into operation for screening
