Abstract:
The technology for Gd-153 line source production has been developed at SSC RIAR. The source active core is made of Al-Gd2O3 composition by means of one of the following ways: either collecting pressed pellets or filling the source body with the composition followed by sintering. The composition is prepared by gadolinium salt thermal destruction on aluminium particles. The method allows setting gadolinium mass fraction (from 0.02 to 6%) with high accuracy and uniformity of distribution in the composition volume of more than 95%.
