    This document reports the results of two experiments: 1. A background trial that measured radiation counts per minute from 10 samples, finding an average of 432.6 counts/minute. 2. A quality control experiment on shield placement that measured counts per minute from 3 samples at different distances, finding averages of 399.667, 434, and 341 counts/minute respectively.
