Detection and analysis of radioactive substances - laboratory 1200-2ENDASPRL1M
Laboratory classes are designed to introduce methods of analysis of radioactive substances. Representative examples of radiation detection systems will be presented including Geiger-Muller counter, scintillation detectors and semiconductor detectors. The construction and operation of radiation detectors will be demonstrated. Students will learn the methodology of measurements, calibration procedures and methods of data processing. The laboratory exercises will also include determination of the activity of selected radionuclides and the qualitative and quantitative analysis of a radiopharmaceutical substance.
