Nucletron MicroSelectron calibration and radiation survey.
The calibration of a Nucletron MicroSelectron High Dose Rate Remote Afterloader unit and the radiation survey around the facility is discussed. The radiation survey of the facility indicates that the use of an existing linear accelerator vault will provide adequate shielding. The methodologies for performing source calibration are presented.
