University building Nijmegen NL - Benthem Crouwel Architects - 2010-2014
The Grotiusbuilding is a new university building for the Radboud University Nijmegen. The building will be mainly used by the Faculty of Law. The cantilevered floors with recessed glass facades between them provide and open and optimal interaction with the park setting that envelopes the building. The building ‘drops’ a level into the ground and has a floor of recessed penthouses on top, making the building bigger on the inside than it looks from the outside. Through the void the daylight flows abundantly to the heart of the building and at the lowest floors around it, where the most public areas are accommodated. By using mainly natural materials inside, a warm and comfortable atmosphere is created. The library is directly visible from the central meeting area. Due to the glass walls the books determine the appearance in most areas of the building. The restaurant has a spacious terrace that is directly connected to the library. The penthouse-offices also offer more spatial quality with an amazing view of the green surroundings. Overall the horizontal lines of the floors give the building a classic and timeless look, while multi-functionality and flexibility are foremost. Gross floor area 16.000 m2

So the probe arrived today functional but with a window pinhole light leak somewhere. I may be able to block it with a speck of black paint, or perhaps I will have to do a RadFilm repair.
Anyway to get started quickly I put on one layer of household aluminum foil and tried it out on my Nucleus Quantum 8 MCA, which is way slow for the nanosecond class pulses from the plastic scint. But with 1107 volts applied I can get some interesting spectra with the probe sitting on a 1/4 inch lead sheet on my K-40 bench top.
The left half spectrum is from a C-14 source. The .010 inch plastic scint is thick enough to absorb the incoming betas completely (156 KeV max).
The right half spectrum is from Kr-85. With hotter betas (687 KeV max) some are blasting right thru the thin scintillator partially or completely undetected. But some fraction of the very hot ones manage to expend most of their energy in the scintillator so there are definitely higher energy pulses produced than with the C-14 run.
The right hand spectrum, (I am guessing) is the sum of a normal beta shape (limited on the left by my foil window kluge, about half the amplitude of the left spectrum) plus an added peaking from the superior detector efficiency in the range from the window cutoff to about 150 KeV (where the beta range charts say .010 of plastic can absorb fully).
Or, if you like, standing on the other foot, a full amplitude normal beta shape but with a big subtraction going on due to detector efficiency dropping off big time above about 150 KeV.
I did run checks of the gamma contribution of my Kr-85 source, and of course background alone. Both are not consequential to the above spectrum shapes. There is a marker on the baseline placed to indicate where the second half spectrum begins.
A nice place to sit in the woods behind the peace camp on sunny days.
On the last day of the year-long Faslane 365 campaign, around 700 protestors from around the country went back to Faslane for a Big Blockade, shutting the entrances to the gate for several hours.
I didn't get any photos on the day, as I was too busy blockading and didn't really have any hands free. These photos were taken in the week after, during which I stayed at the Peace Camp.
