Title: Sr-90 and Kr-85 Beta Source for BSS2
BACKGROUND
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) facility for carrying out protection-level beta dosimetry calibrations has been operational for several decades with a major upgrade of instrumentation and sources in 1998 (BSS2 system). This is the date when the radioactive sources (Sr-90 and Kr-85) currently used for calibrations were obtained. The decay of these sources over a 25-year period negatively influences the measurement process and the measurement results in the form of longer integration times and increased measurement uncertainties.
NIST has a need for Kr-85 and Sr-90 radioactive sources that meet or exceed the following draft minimum specifications:
Line Item 0001: Kr-85 Beta Source for BSS2 / KARB4810
Description: Radioactive source mounted into a stainless-steel canister equipped with a shutter. This source assembly can fit into and be recognized by the BSS2 equipment.
Quantity: One (1)
Technical Specifications Nominal source activity: 3, 7 GBq Activity tolerance: ± 30 % Beta dose rate calibrated by PTB, PTB certificate provided EZN certificate stating leakage tests Drawing: VZ-2832-002 Source mounted into stainless steel holder beam flattening filters
Line Item 0002: (Optional CLIN) Sr-90 Beta Source for BSS2 / SIRB4568
Description: Radioactive source mounted into a stainless-steel canister equipped with a shutter. This source assembly can fit into and be recognized by the BSS2 equipment.
Quantity: One (1)
Technical Specifications Nominal source activity: 3, 7 GBq Activity tolerance: ± 30 % Beta dose rate calibrated by PTB, PTB certificate provided EZN certificate stating leakage tests Drawing: VZ-2832-002 Source mounted into stainless steel holder beam flattening filters HOW TO RESPOND TO THIS NOTICE
