Appendix: radiation measurement-statistical considerations
Description
Radiation measurement is subject to some degree of statistical fluctuation due to the random manner in which radioisotopes decay. This appendix illustrates the use of counting statistics in determining whether abnormalities exist in a counting system and estimating the precision that should be associated with various measurements.
