Training for teachers and technicians working with radioactive sources.

The course will cover:

  • Working with radioactivity – what the law requires.
  • How to carry out common experiments (practical session).
  • How to leak test (practical session).

If your school has a GM tube and counter, please bring it along if you are able to do so. Parts of this course are hands-on and we think it would be useful if you got to know the apparatus in use in your own establishment.

This is a one day course.

Date: 28th August 2024
