Abstract Systematically complicated technique used for preparing high-intensity (more than 8.0 GBq/cm2)241Am γ-source by a new enamel technique is presented. High intensity241Am γ-sources with activities ranging from 3.7 to 37 GBq have been made by this new technique. The activity and photon output have been measured. The results were compared with the data reported by the Radiochemical Centre Amersham in their specification. The photon output of241Am γ-source produced by us meets the technical specification of241Am γ-sources produced by Amersham. Moreover, the highest intensity can reach 1789 mCi/cm2. The overall utilization ratio of241Am activity (59.5 keV) is 31.2%.
