Abstract

The photon energy spectrum of KRISS 60Co irradiation system (AECL Eldorado 8) was calculated by means of the Monte Carlo method. The collimators were modeled realistically, and the material and dimensions of the 60Co sealed source were extracted from the source certificate given by the manufacturer. It was confirmed that the photon energy spectrum of KRISS 60Co irradiation system was in similar shape with those of NRC and BIPM.
