PHY 114: General Physics Laboratory Lab 1: Absorption of Nuclear Radiation 09/04/13 Abstract Nuclear physics was practiced to find the value of tau. After 8 trials of using a G-M counter and 8 different mass thicknesses of polyethylene‚ a graph was formed and tau was calculated to be 0.1931 cm^2/g‚ an error of 3.57% from the accepted value of 0.2 cm^2/g. Experiment was also used as an intro to using basic lab equipment‚ computer programs and calculating errors. With many different

Today‚ 439 nuclear power reactors produce approximately 16 per cent of the world’s electricity. In nine countries‚ over 40 per cent of energy production comes from nuclear power. The IAEA‚ an international organization in the UN family‚ fosters the safe‚ secure and peaceful uses of atomic energy and helps ensure the use of nuclear technology for sustainable development. In Africa‚ there are only two (2 ) nuclear power reactors and there is no significant development of nuclear power infrastructure
