Research Abstract |
A 30-min radiation measurement method was developed using natural radiation sources fabricated from various materials containing naturally occurring radioisotopes. For carrying out measurements smoothly in practice, dedicated data sheets and source stands were prepared. Then the 30-min radiation measurement method was actually applied to training new radiation workers and to radiation education courses held in the home. All results demonstrated that the method was useful for radiation education. Furthermore, the method was applied to high school students by combining with a measurement sharing method. It was found that the measurement sharing method encouraged active participation for students.
