Title: Americium 241 - Am-241
Post by: VebToamDy on February 06, 2012, 08:25 pm
Just need some small, easy-to-handle gamma emitters for educational purposes. Americium 241 (does not have to be pure) would be great. Actually, about a dozen units of less than 1mg (like you'd find in a smoke detector for instance) would be fine.

If you can offer elements with similar properties, feel free to make your suggestion.

When I first saw the topic I was going to suggest just that, smoke detectors.

Is there an inherent problem/danger in removing the americium from them?
