Course Description
This laboratory course will accompany the Introduction to Health Physics Course as a practical means for the students to actually characterize normal radiation sources they experience every day in society. Students will meet for a 50 minute class once a week to go over measurement, analysis and reporting criteria to do on their own averaging 2 hours per week of lab work. Content of lectures and measurement includes natural radon, potassium in foods and geological sources such as granite. The students will summarize their findings in a final report with presentation at the end of the semester.
