Characterization of ceramic seeds with samarium-153 for use in brachytherapy

Ceramic seeds were synthesized by the sol-gel technique with Si:Sm:Ca. One sample was irradiated in the TRIGA nuclear reactor IPR-R1. After irradiation, the seeds were submitted to instrumental neutron activation analysis to determine the 153Sm concentration in weight. The same irradiated seed sampl...
