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]
