Basic Laboratory Procedures for Radiochemistry

Learning Goals

• The student shall receive practical experience with radioactive sources and the handling of these.
• The exercise shows how amounts that are difficult to measure easily can be measured by radioactive tracers, in this case it is the distribution between organic phase and aquatic phase.
• The student will learn how [math]\gamma[/math]-radiation can be measured ([math]\gamma[/math]-spectroscopy) and how such measurements can be used to identify the amount of radionuclides.
• To learn how a isotope generator functions.
• To learn the principle of neutron activation.
