Calibration of ion flow chambre

AI Thread Summary
Calibration of an ion flow chamber requires a specific source, typically a Cs-137 sealed source, and proper training due to the associated hazards. Relating Bq/m3 to dose rate in mSv/h depends on the nuclide, as higher energy radiation results in greater dose rates for the same activity. There are suggested dose rate limits for radiation survey instruments, but detailed calibration instructions are not available online. Understanding the conversion between activity and dose rate is crucial for accurate measurements. For further information, researching terms like "gamma constant" or "exposure constant" is recommended.

I need to calibrate ion flow chambre,dont know exactly how.
I don't know also how to relate Bq/m3 to doserate mSv/h.
Are there any doserate limits,instructions suggest that there are.

Instruction for calibration of any radiation survey instrument can't really be done on the internet, since it requres some kind of source to calibrate the instrument with (typically, a Cs-137 sealed source or other long-lived nuclide). This requires training commensurate with the hazards associated with handling such material. As for conversion of Activity per unit volume to dose rate, that all depends on the nuclide in question. The higher the energy of the radiation, the greater the dose rate (given the same activity). If you want to learn more, you might want to google search "gamma constant" or "exposure constant".
 
Hello everyone, I am currently working on a burnup calculation for a fuel assembly with repeated geometric structures using MCNP6. I have defined two materials (Material 1 and Material 2) which are actually the same material but located in different positions. However, after running the calculation with the BURN card, I am encountering an issue where all burnup information(power fraction(Initial input is 1,but output file is 0), burnup, mass, etc.) for Material 2 is zero, while Material 1...
