title: [A solid-state reference sample of iodine radionuclide activity for checking radiometers and a method for its production].
abstract: This development relates to nuclear engineering, concerns the sources of ionizing radiation of iodine radionuclides and the ways of their manufacture. The iodine radionuclides are used for calibration of radiometers that measure the specific activity of iodine radionuclide in biological specimens, in particular for their use to identify noncancer diseases. The purpose of the paper is to design a routine activity sample for iodine radionuclide in the solid-state source for transfer of an iodine radionuclide activity unit from the reference iodine radionuclide activity unit to an operating meter with a simultaneous decrease in testing errors and an increase, in terms of iodine radionuclide half-life, in the life of the reference sample by stabilizing the activity unit of iodine radionuclide (in terms of its half-life) by eliminating the process of sublimation of iodine radionuclide from the working surface of the source. The objective is achieved by the fact that the radionuclide is replaced on the lower internal build-up part of the container, fixed with the upper internal build-up part, then kept for at least 10-12 hours at least at 18-20 degrees C, packed into a hollow container and sealed with epoxide resin. According to the proposed technical design, reference activity samples of iodine radionuclide in the solid-state radiometric source with a preset activity value have been prepared. The testing error for iodine radionuclide activity is minimal and equal to 1.0-3.0% at a 0.95 confidence.
