  1. Canadian Nuclear Society Ionising Radiation Workshop CNS Team Bryan White John G. Roberts Embrace NORM Revision 13 Introduction 2018-02 Naturally Now with Balloons! Occurring Radioactive Material www.cns-snc.ca 1

  2. The ionising radiation workshop kit… Geiger counter USB Interface Computer If your table has a computer, please don’t disturb it -- we’ll get to it shortly. 2

  3. Your ionising radiation workshop kit Please fill out the feedback form: • we would appreciate your help to improve this workshop; • please comment on the organizer’s form • if you have suggestions as to how the CNS can assist you please email us: ecc@cns-snc.ca www.cns-snc.ca

  4. Your ionising radiation workshop kit You should have the printed workshop notes, and the referenced CNS fact sheets. All the printed material and the PowerPoint files may be downloaded from the CNS website. If you don’t want the printed material, we will take it away for future use. www.cns-snc.ca

  8. So why does the CNS provide this workshop? • We believe that students will benefit from simple, personal, practical demos / experiments that enrich their classroom experience. • We’re convinced that investing in science teachers is the best way we can help improve public understanding of ionising radiation. • With our co-sponsors we have placed 179 Geiger Kits with Canadian secondary science teachers + 15 more early 2018
