Abstract

Thermoluminescent (TLD) measurements of dose-rate constant, anisotropy function, and radial dose function are reported for the Alpha-Omega high dose rate (HDR) Iridium-192 ( 192Ir) source, which has been available since 1998 for use in the MicroSelectron HDR afterloader manufactured by the Nucletron Corporation. Measurement results are compared with published or available Monte Carlo calculations for both sources. They are found in good agreement, and, within experimental accuracy, no difference is seen in the dosimetric parameters of both sources.
