The procedure followed by the Nuclear Metrology Laboratory (LMN) at the IPEN-CNEN/SP, in São Paulo, for the primary standardization of Ho is described. The activity of Ho was determined by the efficiency extrapolation technique applied to a 4πβ(PC)-γ coincidence system using a gas flow proportional counter in 4π geometry coupled to a 76 × 76 mm NaI(Tl) crystal. The results for the γ-rays intensities at 80.57 and 1379.45 keV were 0.0651(11) and 0.00904(11), respectively.
