Abstract
Ta-182 sources were produced, and the disintegration rate and gamma-ra y emission probabilities were measured as an aid in using this radionu clide as a calibrant for HPGe detectors. Metal powders proved to be th e most appropriate sources, and the disintegration rate was determined with an uncertainty of less than 0.4%. Improved data with reduced unc ertainties were also obtained for the gamma-ray emission probabilities . (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
