The Vic- toreen thimble chamber was not designed to measure the dose I esulting from high energy radiation however, it was found that the dose due to collimated cesium-137 and cobalt-60 gamma-rays could be determined relatively accurately by placing Lucite shells around the thimble to provide electronic equilibrium for the radiation in question...
EPA Facts About Cesium-137 EPA Facts About Cesium-137 July 2002 What is cesium-137? Radioactive cesium-137 is produced spontaneously when other radioactive materials such as uranium and plutonium absorb neutrons and undergo fission Cesium-137 is therefore a common radionuclide produced when nuclear fission, or splitting, of uranium...
