Background
Note down the values from the background counting you started the day before.
Counting number:
Counting time:
Counting speed:
Standard deviation:
Counting Efficiency
Do a one minute count on every shelf. Use these measurements to calculate the counting-efficiency of the GM-detector in %, for 234mPa. The activity of the sample can be calculated from the amount of UO3 used.

Twenty Measurements with Constant Distance from the Source
Do twenty measurements lasting for one minute with the source in the same position. Calculate the standard deviation and complete the table:
