- = for the 834 line
Co-60, 9.080 uCi July 15, 2013, half life 5.271 +/- 0.001 years, 99.0 % for 1173.237 and 99.9824 % for 1332.501, February 4, 2016 activity= 5.68 uCi
- = for the 1173 line
- = for the 1332 line
Ba-133, 9.821 uCi on April 15, 2007, half life is 10.51 years, the 81 line has an intensity of 0.329 and the 356 line has an intensity of 0.6205. The activity of February 9, 2017 is
Below is a table where the actual efficiency will be calculated for position R (farthest position).
