I have submitted calendar requests for a Nuclear Science Day event on Saturday the 22nd, from noon to 8 PM, and for Introduction to Atomic Energy class dates on Monday the 17th, Tuesday the 18th, Thursday the 20th, & Friday the 21st at 8.30 PM. There is an outside chance (ie, I’m hoping but not holding my breath) that I’ll be out of town part of that week, in which case I’ll need to reschedule the classes.
Among the things I hope to have finished by that time is a setup for “fingerprinting” radioactive materials — I have the multichannel analyzer, so now I need the scintillation-counter part of the apparatus, with its high-voltage supply.
As usual, exhibits for Nuclear Science Day are invited. Hopefully this year I can not only remember the dry ice for the cloud chamber, but actually get it to work. Finicky things, they are.
