International experts looking at the nuclear power technologies for the future met in Sydney
ANSTO hosted an international meeting of Expert and Policy group members for Generation IV Forum (GIF).
Investigating radiation in the air we breathe
Radioactive radon gas is a decay product of uranium and thorium, which are found naturally in rocks, soil and building materials. Radon is a significant component of background radiation and can accumulate in poorly ventilated indoor environments. In this data set, we investigated the effect of charging a balloon, which was then hung in an enclosed space, on its level of radioactivity. Students will write a hypothesis, graph data, write a conclusion and use provided information to answer questions about radioactivity and radon, experimental design, accuracy, validity and reliability.
