Abstract:
In the present study, a prototype 106Ru/106Rh source was fabricated using high level liquid waste from reactor fuel, fixed in a stainless steel housing with a window and backing made of silver. The study involves measurement of the operational quantities Hp(0.07), Hp(3) and the percentage depth dose (PDD) using an extrapolation chamber. It also involves determination of necessary correction factors to arrive at Hp(0.07) and Hp(3) following International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) and methods suggested in literature. The study facilitates incorporation of the 106Ru/106Rh source as a beta reference source for quality assurance programme in TLD personnel monitoring as per the guidelines of ISO.
