Best Answer

Yes. A radioactive standard is a configuration of radioactive material constructed in a precise way, allowing the standard to be used as a reference when measuring other radiation sources. Standards typically come as solids trapped in a mylar foil pocket, embedded directly in a plastic or electroplated onto a metal disc, or as a sealed liquid solution. Standards are used to calibrate radiation measuring equipment.
