A program has been realised to calculate theoretically the beta, gamma, and coincidence efficiencies and the extrapolated activity value of a given radionuclide which are obtained by 4rtfl~ coincidence measurements, from the nuclear decay data and hypothetical detection efficiency values. It is used for studying more easily, especially in the case of complex decay schemes, the influence of the parameters involved. It can calculate a correction factor for obtaining the true activity value under experimental conditions. Some examples are presented: tuBa, 5~Cr, 195Au and 2°IT1.

A simple way of varying the source efficiency in 4n(PCt\_y coincidence counting is described. A wet source is put into the 47~ flow proportional counter and measured repeatedly; the 4x(PC) counting efficiency increases smoothly to a maximum value as the water evaporates. It is possible to reproduce
