Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science (KRISS) has developed beta-gamma coincidence system with 4πβ(LS)-γ, 4πβ(PPC)-γ and 4πβ(3PM-LS)-γ. Recently, 4πβ(LS)-γ(LaBr3) coincidence system has developed with a digital DAQ system based on the Flash-ADC (FADC). The 4πβ(LS)-γ(LaBr3) coincidence system showed good performance for long half-life nuclide with the 60Co pilot experiment, and the potential for use as a primary system. The digital DAQ system has been used in the BIPM.RI(II)-K4 (SIRTI) as the short half-life nuclei since the high count rates compared with an analog DAQ. In this presentation, a 4πβ(PPC)-γ(NaI) with digital DAQ is introduced. A Co-60 source on the thin film has been measured to optimize the high voltage and the operating ionizing gas pressure. The pilot experiment with the Co-60 source has been performed. The maximum efficiency with the Co-60 source is found to be 94.8 %, it has higher efficiency compared with 92 % of LS system. The activity is estimated to be (3375.78 ± 58.10) Bq and the activity is good agreement with the reference ionizing chamber. In this presentation, preliminary results of the 4πβ(PPC)-γ(NaI) will be discussed.
