Specification and Availability
- Calibration of well-type (re-entrant) chambers suitable for HDR sources
- Calibration of thimble chambers with customer provided calibration jig
- Electrometer calibration (charge or current calibration)
- Calibrations are normally carried out in spring, and are undertaken using an HDR 192Ir Isodose Control Flexisource
