Basic radlab work routines

Learning Goals

To understand the relationship between amount of radioactive material and desintegrasjon rate.
To understand the relationship between count rate and desintegrasjon rate.
To understand the uncertainty in measured number of counts and be able to calculate the uncertainty in numbers derived from such numbers.
Be able to use a radioactivity detector.
To know and understand the basic principles for work with open radioactive sources.
Be able to conduct contamination checks.

This exercise consist of the following parts:
