Videos 8.1-8.5 discuss two related topics: radiation safety in the laboratory and attenuation of X-rays in solid matter. These videos are independently accessible without viewing those in previous sections. Important caveat: watching these videos is not a substitute for learning and following institutional, state, and national guidelines and regulations for safe handling and operation of radioactive materials and radiation-producing equipment.
