    DIY Radiation Shilded Chamber - for Gamma spectroscopy
    I want to build a radiation shielded chamber for Gamma spectroscopy using my Radiacode 103. After batting some ideas about on another thread this is what I have so far: Outer case is 6mm steel (mild steel) - This could be a square tube section, or made from sheet. Inner case is the same as the outer and has 60mm x 60mm to 75mm x 75mm (thereabouts) space in the center for the Radiacode and source. Internal length of the chamber will be ~200mm. Space between the inner case and outer case will be filled with lead, ~25mm thick. Tabs/flange on both caps and outer case to put bolts through to fix
