Abstract:
A feasibility study was conducted to prepare, characterize and apply Mg/Fe Hydrotalcite composite as a core material of γ-sealed source used in spectroscopic measurements. Co-precipitation method was used to prepare the composite. To understand and define the physicochemical properties of the prepared composite, different analytical techniques were used. Optimum conditions for the use of the prepared composite as a core material for a radioactive sealed source were obtained. Finally, radiometric analysis has been done, in addition to testing of both physical and mechanical properties for the prepared sealed source.
