title: Relative calibration of a well type isotope calibrator for brachytherapy sources.
abstract: The manuscript outlines the results of a quick procedure for relative calibration of a well type Isotope Calibrator for brachytherapy sources. It is demonstrated that accuracy better than 5% is attainable. Some practical considerations with the possible pitfalls in the procedure are discussed.
