Where can I buy radioactive isotape with higher power?

Certainly, here is how you get it:

EDIT, Take a look at Slide 14 in this publication:

To be fair, that guy did a lot more wrong than collecting dangerous materials.

But read "The boy electrician" first!!

Oh my god, I missed that he wants 1 Ci in the OP! Obviously either a troll or a complete imbecile. I work at a place that has 1 Ci of Californium, they had to build a separate building for it. It has all sorts of radiation safety alarms and intrusion alarms, only a couple people have clearance to enter the building, and they spend a couple minutes a year cumulatively inside the place. Then, the radioactivity that boils off the Californium is sucked into another building, sorted for isotope and fed into an accelerator.
OH, and this is INSIDE a national laboratory which has quite strict security, too! Having 1 Ci around requires somewhere close to the same security as an operating nuclear reactor.

And here I'am, expecting a thread about extra bright glow-in-the-dark insulation tape. :-DD
Oh well..
