Aims

To carry out further detailed work on environmental aspects on nuclear radiation.

Learning Outcomes

(LO1) A more detailed knowledge of the detection systems needed for environmental measurements.

Syllabus
 

1 Further topics on environmental aspect based on the knowledge gained in PHYS812 and a detailed survey using available data of environmental radiation in the UK. This will concentrate on finding the necessary information on the radionuclides present so that the detection systems needed can be specifieid. The written report will cover this work and discuss the instrumentaiton needed to operate a laboratory to measure environmental levels of radiation over a wide range of applications.
