Partitioning and transmutation technology division is planning to measure fission rate ratios that contribute to validate nuclear data of minor actinides (MA). For this purpose, MA sources for fission chambers were prepared using electrodeposition method. The radioactivity of each MA source was quantified, and its uncertainty was evaluated. Seven types of MA sources with different radioactivity were prepared using four nuclides of $^{237}$ Np, $^{241}$ Am, $^{243}$ Am, and $^{244}$ Cm. A $^{244}$ Cm source solution of which radioactivity was quantified by isotope dilution method was used to prepare working standard sources of $^{244}$ Cm. The radioactivities were quantified as 1461 Bq, 2179 Bq, and 2938 Bq for $^{237}$ Np sources, 1.428 MBq for $^{241}$ Am source, 370.5 kBq and 89.57 kBq for $^{243}$ Am sources, and 2.327 MBq for $^{244}$ Cm source with, the uncertainty of 0.35% (1). This report summarizes the method for preparation and quantification of MA sources, and uncertainty evaluation.
