Cobalt 60 Low Dose Rate Cells

Panoramic Gamma Irradiators (2 cells)

Radiation Test Solutions, Inc. offers comprehensive testing support and Cobalt-60 source rental from our Colorado Springs facility. Clients may use our panoramic gamma irradiators to test products exposed to low dose rates of Cobalt-60 radiation. The RTS experts at our Colorado Springs facility are deeply familiar with the technology and procedures involved in gamma radiation testing. Our staff can provide insight and guidance throughout the design and implementation of the testing process.

Technical Characteristics

Clients frequently use a Co-60 radioisotope source for total dose (TID) testing compliant with TM 1019 in MIL-STD 750 and MIL-STD 883. The gamma irradiator exposes components to low doses of Cobalt-60 gamma radiation for prolonged test periods. The equipment at our facility accommodates test samples up to 40 in x 40 in (100 cm x 100 cm).

The irradiator contains a single low curie source for gamma radiation. The radiation dose varies with the sample’s distance from the radioisotope source. The typical configuration provides 10 mrad (Si) per second in accordance with TM 1019.

  • Maximum dose rate: roughly 0.12 rads (Si) per second or 7 rads (Si) per minute. 
  • Minimum practicable dose rate: 1 mrad (Si) per second or 60 mrad (Si) per minute. 

To ensure our clients can rely on accurate measurements and analysis, RTS makes all calibrations traceable to NIST.

Instrumentation and Data Collection

  • Bias boards
  • Computer-controlled instrumentation and data reduction software
  • Digital and analog curve tracers
  • Dosimetry
  • ESD work stations
  • LTS2020
  • Power supplies

Special Features and Requirements

All irradiations must be conducted using a lead/aluminum enclosure according to MIL-STD 883, Method 1019.7 specifications. The MIL-STD 883 1019.7 setup is for testing semiconductor circuits for total dose effects after exposure to ionizing radiation. The lead/aluminum container helps control the radiation effects on the sample.

Experienced Radiation Test Solutions staff are available to design, support, and conduct radiation testing. Our radiation lab has DLA suitability status for radiation tests and experiments.
