Source Calibration and Dose Rate Data

Date Initial Source Strength (Ci) Current Source Strength (Ci) Distance to Faceplate (cm) Exposure Rate (Roentgen/hr)°
6/27/17 20 9.3 30.5 17.691
9/11/17 20 9.3 30.5 17.606

°Calculated by TSO using [math]\dot R = \frac {\Gamma A }{ D^2} [/math] where [math]\boldsymbol{\Gamma} = 3.3 \frac {(cm^2)(R)}{(mCi)(hr)} = .33 \frac {(m^2)(R)}{(Ci)(hr)} [/math] , [math]\mathbf{A} = 9.3 Ci [/math] , [math]\mathbf{D}=(\text{Distance to faceplate} + 11.2cm) [/math]

There is an adjustment distance of 11.2cm which accounts for the distance from the faceplate to the [math] ^{137}Cs[/math] source

Total exposures are calculated by [math]\int\limits_{t_0}^{t_f}\dot R\ dt [/math]

Date Run Number Run Time (s) Distance to Faceplate Number of OSLs in Stack Exposure Rate (R/hr) Total Exposed Dose (mRad)
9/8/17 1 5660 30cm 11 18.7188 30148.8
9/8/17 1 5660 30cm 11 18.7188 30148.8

9/26/17 2 4500 30cm 11 18.7188 23398.6

In these calculations, [math]\Gamma = 0.35 \frac {(m^2)(R)}{(Ci)(hr)} [/math]
