== Seminar cost ==

The seminar is supported by [http://www.nks.org/ NKS, Nordic Nuclear Safety Research].
No fee will be charged for participation in the seminar. However travel, accommodation and meals not included in the seminar must be covered by the participants themselves.

== Exercise spectra and samples ==

There will be an opportunity for those interested to participate in intercomparison exercises. Participants are kindly expected to fill the required information in the registration form for participation. 
Information on this year's exercises can be found below.

*Exercise 1a): measurement of a sediment sample and reporting on the results as instructed. For taking part in this, please fill in and return the registration form. Please use [[http://gr.is/wiki/GammaWiki/images/0/05/ReportingForm.xlsx: this form]] for reporting your results.
*Exercise 1b): measurement of a water sample and reporting on the results as instructed. For taking part in this, please fill in and return the registration form. Please use this form for reporting your results.
*Exercise 2a) involves [http://trektin.gr.is/Content/2017NKS_gamma_exercise.zip 9 gamma spectra] including data for calibration, analysis, correction for self-absorption, background, efficiency transfer. The zip folder contains a text file describing the task to solve.
*Exercise 2b): analysis of a [http://trektin.gr.is/Content/exerciseSpectra.rar gamma spectrum] to 
**identify all the peaks in the spectrum
**determine what the sample can be

Please send the completed registration form to Helle Tofte Holm (htho@dtu.dk) by 1 May if you want to participate in the intercomparison exercises 1a) and 1b) on lab analysis of sediment and water samples.
