Gamma-gamma Coincidence Overlap Coincidence Method for Measuring Gamma-gamma Coincidence of Na Radiation Safety

RADIATION SAFETY The radioactive sources used in this experiment are only a few microcuries in strength, and they are all sealed, so they actually pose no significant health hazard. However we will follow good safety procedure. Horseplay involving the sources is forbidden. While the sources are not dangerous, like any radioactive source they should be treated with respect and properly handled. Only the instructor is to handle the sources, and he/she will wash hands after handling the sources. When any source is not in use, it is to be stored behind lead shielding. In the event of any accident which results in spilled radioactivity, do not attempt to clean it up your self. The staff here at Building is specially trained for this and even they call someone else even more trained.
