Californium-252 is currently produced in the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) and processed in the Radiochemical Engineering Development Center (REDC) at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Medical sources are fabricated at the Savannah River Site and all other sources are fabricated at the REDC. The production of {sup 252}Cf. properties, neutron source fabrication, and source procurement are described. 15 refs., 10 figs., 6 tabs.
