Runlist
| Run | Description | |
| 6559 | Coincidence run with Na-22 1 uCi source # 129742, ADC7 = HpGe, ADC3 = NaI, TDC16 = HpGe, TDC19 = NaI, Na-22's 1.2 keV photon is in channel 3600 for the HpGe detector and channel 500 for the NaI; need to decrease gain on HpGe so Y-88's 1.8 keV photon is in the ADC range | |

Activity
The photon spectrum measured on 10/31/13 from the Y-88 sample #130100-010 and a 1uCi Co-60 1 uCi source # 129739
The NaI-22 measured rate was 366.8 events/sec while the Y-88 rate was about 30.6 events/sec.
A 1uCi Mn-54 source # 129806 had a rate of 229.6 events/sec.
A rough estimate is that the Y-88 activity is less than 0.1 uCi.
