Hi guys, my friend and I want to get some Gamma source for experienments, but all we can find are something less than 1 uCi, what we want are more than 1 Ci, can anyone tell me the way to get it? Thanks. |

You can get radioisotopes of all different types from Oak Ridge National Lab. |

You can get a Corelle dinner plate with the bright orange glaze at a flea market. The glaze is Uranium oxide, and a 1" chunk will give you 5000 counts/minute. Jon |

That was my point. If you should be handling a 1 curie (=3.7 * 10^10 decays/second) source ORNL will sell it to you. If not, then you shouldn't be handling it. |

If you are asking here where to find it you definetly shouldn't handle it. BTW what are these experiments you mention? |
