> Hello radsafers,
> 
> This is to request information on where I could obtain some visual aids on
> FT dating.
> 
> Here at Chalk River Nuclear Laboratories (Ontario, Canada), we have a
> Science for Educators Seminar (SES) every year for high school teachers
> visiting from all across Canada, as well as other visits by groups of
> students, for whom I & some other volunteers do a "hands-on radiation work
> shop," with such things as various kinds of radiation measuring &
> detection instruments, Wilson cloud chambers, smoke detectors, etc., and
> of course a variety of natural & man-made radiation sources.
> 
> I would like to include in my presentation something about FT dating, but
> to my knowledge this has not been practiced here at CRNL in the past.
> 
> I have found a few "thumbnail" type images on the internet, but no good
> high-resolution images. Can you suggest a source ? Do you know of anyone
> in eastern N. America (Canada) who does FT dating ? Any chance of getting
> actual FT samples for viewing under a microscope ?
> 
> Your help would be greatly appreciated !

> Thanks
