Activity of neutron-induced Na-24 in NaCl solution to simulate human blood:Effects of the sample-source distance and the irradiation time
the neutron dose can be estimated by measuring radioactivity of 24Na in blood of the patients.In this work
NaCl solution as simulated blood was irradiated by a 252Cf neutron source
and measured by a low background γ-ray measurement system.The 24Na activity was measured at different source-sample distances for different irradiation hours.The 24Na activity after decay correction decreases exponentially with increasing distance
