Abstract
Using the bremsstrahlung flux density data of Tanaka et al. (1983), the PHOTAC code has been developed to calculate the activity induced in a sample during photon activation as a function of the geometrical arrangement of the electron energy and the beam profile. Some results are given for sample volumes from 1 to 1000 cm3 and sample distances from 1 to 10 cm at 25 MeV. Examples for the application of the PHOTAC code to estimate the maximum activity output and to minimize the heating up of the sample during irradiation are discussed.Index EntriesPhoton activation techniquesbremsstrahlungelectron beamsenergy range 10-100 MeVirradiation conditionsheat transferoptimizationphotonuclear reactions.
