Notice ID Number: NIST-SS26-138 Title: Sources Sought Notice for Pin Well Detector The purpose of this sources sought notice is to conduct market research and identify potential sources of commercial products/services that satisfy the Government�s anticipated needs. BACKGROUND The NIST Radioactivity Group maintains the national standard for radioactivity. The purchase of equipment capable of making 4? gamma-ray measurements provides an alternative method for primary standardization of certain difficult-to-measure radionuclides that decay by electron capture. Electron capture (EC) is a type of radioactive decay that does not produce high-energy beta- or alpha- particles, which are generally easy to detect and count with high efficiency. Instead, the radiations associated with EC are low-ene...
