Validation study demonstrates accurate activity standardization in zinc-65 and barium-133 sources, indicating reliable calibration for low-energy electron capture radionuclides.
The system using X-gamma coincidence technique for the standardizing radionuclide, which present simple and complex decay scheme with X-rays of energy below 100 keV has deployed by Radionuclide Laboratory (LNMRI), Brazil. The work was carried using a sodium iodide detector, for gamma photons, in combination with a high purity germanium detector for X-rays. Samples of 65Zn and 133Ba were standardized and the results for both radionuclides showed good precision and accuracy when compared with reference values. The standardization differences were 0.72 % for 65Zn and 0.48 % for 133Ba samples.
