Hi, I took electrical engineering but I've been having a hard time finding employment, its been nearly 4 months since I graduated. I think it comes down to a lack of experience in anyone area. A lot of experience I had was self guided and to be honest, half assed, I did two coops with an actual...

Thank you, I think I managed to collect the data necessary. I will report on my findings in a bit Quick question though. Suppose you have Cs137 which decays at a rate of 2109 bq. Is it correct to say that from that you have 2109 Beta decays per second from the Cs137 and also 2109 gamma decays...

Thanks for your reply, So since it is solely based on the number of atoms present, it may not be adequate for my needs. The problem is, beta particles can only travel a few mm in most materials, (correct me if I'm wrong) therefore much of the emitted beta particles will not exit the closed...

Hi there, I have a few closed radioactive sources (Cs137, Pb210, Na22) that I am trying to use for a project but I am not that knowledgeable about them. Their activity is shown on the source but I'm unsure if this is related to the amount ie grams of substance inside the sealed container...
