Abstract
This work presents a technical procedure to prepare mixed electroplate d alpha sources of (U-233, Am-241 and Cm-244) and (U-233, Pu-238 and C m-244), to carry out the energy calibration-curve of an alpha particle spectrometer, an option to the use of individual standards, maintaini ng the same experimental conditions. The chemical processing of the st andard radionuclide solutions were made with the purpose to find the b est pH range of the electrolytic solution, resulting in a yield deposi tion of 90%.
