Abstract

In Brazil, beta radiation metrology was based on a 30-years-old irradiation system. Aiming to fulfill a regional metrological gap and safety requirements, a new secondary standard for beta radiation – the BSS2- was installed at the CDTN/CNEN. Results of three metrological characteristics of the BSS2 are presented.
