  • Page 10: Activation (M2 Only)

    5.6 Activation (M2 only) Due to the inherent activation of metal in epithermal neutron beams, the Exradin M2 ionization chamber can become radioactive. The activated metal in the ionization chamber (ie collector, guard and shell) could contribute more than 2% to the chamber’s signal. The primary isotope created is Mg which has a half-life of about 9.5 min.
