NKS-B GammaTest:Exercise spectra and instructions

The task is to report at least all identified nuclides - perfect solution includes the identification of all significant peaks, including background peaks i.e. no background subtraction. All the relevant spectra is here: Spectra for calibration

1. Peak/nuclide identification exercise spectrum file: 12711G6.chn
