Abstract

I describe production and distribution of uncontained sources of 24Na and 222Rn inside the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO). These unique sources provided a uniquely accurate calibration of the SNO detector of its response to neutrons, produced through photodisintegration of the deuterons in the heavy water target, and to low energy β‐γ decays.
