Learning Goals
Here the learning goals and purpose of the exercise should be presented in a reasonable way.

Theory
Introduction to Naturally Occurring Radioactivity NORM and TENORM Scale and Radioactivity

Experimental Procedure
A few Definitions used in this exercise Gamma Spectroscopy of NORM and TENORM

Questions for the Students

 * In mineral samples: Is it more or less likely that 208 Tl is in equilibrium with 228 Ra than that 214 Bi is in equilibrium with 226 Ra? Argue for your answer
 * For scale samples, the same question.
 * For the scale sample: Supposing equilibrium between 214 Bi and 226 Ra, - what is the activity concentration of 226 Ra in the sample? Is the activity concentration above or below the exemption level?
