KJM 5911 is taught at the University of Oslo (UiO). Go here for more information.

List of Laboratory Exercises:

Lab Exercise 1: Basic lab-training, making a uranium source and GM-counting. This is a introduction on how to work in a rad. lab. The student will lern basic radiation protection principles and do some basic work with natural uranium, e.g. prepare a counting sample by filtering UO₃ from an aquous solution. This sample is then used to investigate basic counting principles and counting statistics.
Lab Exercise 2 - Radionuclide Generators and Half Life. A ²³⁴Th/^234mPa radionuclide generator is prepared by extracting thorium on a DOWEX ion-exchanger collumn. ^234mPa is milked from this collumn and its half life is determined.
Lab Exercise 3 - Gamma Spectroscopy

Lab Exercise 4 - Szilard-Chalmers Reaction and Liquid-Scintillation Counting. Production of carrier-free radioactivity by exploiting the reactivity of free radicals created due to recoiling nuclei. The basic principles behind LSC is taught by measuring different beta-emitting samples. Quench-correction curves is obtained manually and explained.

Lab Exercise 4 - Cylotron Produced Tracers and Liquid-Liquid Extraction. Short-lived radiotracers produced with a ⁴He-beam from a cyclotron will be used to to investigate liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) of Mo.
