Abstract
A simple distance-variable detection table on which two detectors can be mounted and moved back and forth facing each other centred on a sample source has been constructed for photon–photon and α–photon coincidence counting for 125I and 238Pu, respectively. Two NaI(Tl) detectors were used for the standardization of 125I. A Si detector and an NaI(Tl) detector were employed for the standardization of 238Pu. The NaI(Tl) detectors have a very thin aluminium window for measuring low-energy photons from 125I and 238Pu while the Si-detector is a usable-in-air ion-implanted detector for α particles from 238Pu. A thin collodion film was used for 238Pu samples, whereas a thick polyester film was used for 125I samples to prevent 125I from leaking from the sample. The key comparison result of 125I showed good agreement, and the result of 238Pu was also compared with that of liquid scintillation counting.
