Comparison of BNM-LMRI and NBS Absorbed-Dose Standards for 60Co Gamma Rays

J. P. Guiho / J. P. Simoen / S. R. Domen

The first comparison of national standards of absorbed dose has been carried out by the Laboratoire de Metrologie des Rayonnements Ionisants (LMRI) and the National Bureau of Standards (NBS). The graphite calorimters were compared in the LMRI 60 Co gamma-ray beam. The ratio of the response of the NBS calorimeter to the LMRI calorimeter was 1.003, with a 95% confidence limit of + or - 0.6%, and an estimated upper bound to the systematic uncertainties of + or - 0.3%.
